The class I have the hardest time "pleasing" is my 6th graders. You know that age, they think they are so ready for junior high. Getting into the awkward stage...you know what I mean. Don't get me wrong, I totally went through it too!!
This art lesson was one they actually liked!! A friend of mine from college was really into making collages of patterns like these. I have made a few in my sketchbook. I showed those samples and told the class they had to divide the circle into at least 5 sections and create different patterns for each section. We talked about what a pattern is and drew several examples on the board. Of course there were a few boys who went a little crazy on me...drawing guns and missiles. But overall the class really liked the project. These are a few that turned out really well.
