Next students cut their paper into six same sized squares and rearranged them to create a totally new composition.  They had fun trying different arrangements to see what their art would look like.  On different colors of background paper students glued their artwork down.  
These turned out pretty awesome but honestly, if I do this again next year I might just have them do the drawing and not cut them up.   Before being cut up, these drawings would make wonderful cards or gift wrap!

Inspired by this image that I found on pinterest (with a faulty link), 2nd grade artists created these fun, colorful drawings.  The focus of this project is line.  To create these, student must draw four lines that bend and curve and zig zag from one side of the page and connect to the other.  Then from the top to bottom of page, students did the same but with six lines.  These lines create a sort of puzzle of organic shapes.  Using  a Sharpie, 2nd graders each picked at least three of these shapes to fill with black stripes.  Most students chose more though.  This created an interesting pattern to start with.  Next students used all of the colors of the rainbow to color in the rest of the sheet of paper.  Other than the striped areas, they were to leave no white paper showing through.
