Middle School Art - Drawing with Symmetry

The latest country on our "tour around the world" was Germany. We looked at the colorful folk art found there. Much of folk art is done with symmetry so we learned about different types of Balance, one of the Principles of Art, and talked about the visual "weight" of a work of art. The three different type of Balance are asymmetry, symmetry, and radial symmetry. Students were challenged to create a work of art using symmetry. Check out their fun artwork below.
