Pattern Name Towers

I needed something to keep my 7th graders busy for the last few days of school. I've done this with my younger students and thought it might be too easy for my middle schoolers, but they loved it! I can't remember which blog I found the idea on :( But the idea is for the letters to get smaller as they go farther up the paper and then fill them in with patterns. Coloring in the patterns is optional :)

Modigliani Portraits

I was hoping we would have enough time to squeeze this in before the end of the year. Ever since I saw the idea on Art Projects for Kids, I have been dying to try it! The kids loved it! I only wish it wasn't time to start taking down the artwork at my school...
