This was a great and very fun digital art lesson that can easily be adapted for any grade! The students used a program such as Microsoft Paint divided it into sections and doodled in each section. I introduced a book that talks about the artist Klimt and I read the story Chicken Sunday by Patricia Polacco. We discussed the different repetitive designs that are found in the paintings or the eggs represented in Chicken Sunday. I printed copies of zen tangles for the students to reference to give them ideas for their art. Overall I am very pleased with this idea. It can easily be adapted for Valentine's Day or different shades of green for St. Patrick's Day.
