6th grade medallions

This project was one that had been on the back burner for a couple of years but we brought it back this year. We changed the focus from a central image or symbol to a radial design with a focus on design elements such as shape, line and texture. The end results were dynamite and re-charged this lesson. The medallions are actually made from a combination of cardboard, card stock, glue, toothpicks, tin foil and ink. The end result is something that resembles pewter or tarnished silver. Here are a few of the many great results from this year.
