iRubric: Negative Spaces / Positive Shapes - 70 points x2 rubric

Using a wooden pencil, students initially draw several unusual/uneven shapes (each approx. 3-4") on manilla tagboard then decide with teacher & cut out the unique shape. (Stay away from letters and numbers for shapes.)Again, using your wooden pencil, place your shape at various angles and very lightly sketch them on white tagboard leaving approx. 2" between the shapes. Lightly draw straight or curving lines between the shapes. (This will create the negative areas for patterns) Then begin creating colored tight-knit patterns using colored markers on scrap paper. Remember, patterns repeat. When you have created enough tight-knit patterns, you may begin drawing patterns on the white tagboard. Hint: Write on back of tagboard names of colors used so that you use the same color in your pattern. DO NOT OUTLINE shapes or patterns. Erase any pencil markings before turning in project with your rubric for grading.
