Math Monday: Blindfold Shapes & Blind Contour

 Blindfold-Free Portrait

Note the noted freckles and wrinkles on her nose;)

I'm pretty convinced that math, writing and art can be combined forces on any given day.
Shapes are a great example; responsible after all, for forming images and letters.
We reviewed shapes, sides and angles with a Blindfold Exercise.

Then I took a page from The Art Book for Children re: Joan Miro.

His teacher instructed him to draw shapes without looking.

Shapes were heavily prominent in his work.

 

We extended this to Blind Contour drawings with great fits of giggles!
