In art class we have been talking and exploring the subject of symmetry.
For this lesson we have used the Historical of Lesson of Presidents Day.
Usually , we discuss two presidents: George Washington and Abrahamn Lincoln.
We discuss atleast three facts about Mr. Lincoln:
He was the 16th President of the United states.
He was a self taught person, from a Young boy he was himself many things by reading.
He Wrote the Emancipation Proclamation: Freedom for the Slaves.
When we learn about George Washington , we discusss three things.
He was our first President.
He was our First General of our Army.
And he Signed the Declaration of Independence.
Then we review our Symmetry by discussing a mirror image with examples.
Use examples, such as shapes and butterflies.
I them give them a print off of a portrait of Washington or Lincoln, with the other side masked out . Examples

The Children took these half portraits and drew the symmetry of the president face.
Some did so good they were all very pleased.
I could only save the George Washington pictures because the 3rd grade teachers wanted place their Abrahamn Lincoln on their wall.
Here are the samples:
hope you like them.
