Second grade students reviewed the concept of symmetry and learned about radial balance by creating group assemblages. We began this project by looking at examples of radial balance, both natural (like star fish) and man-made (like the spokes on a bike wheel). We looked at artwork by the Spanish group Cocolia in which they assembled a variety of art supplies to make temporary sculptures that were radially balanced. Then students we're let loose in groups to create their own creations using art supplies and random collected items. After each group was happy with their creation, we took pictures, then disassembled the work and started a new one! Each group showed true creativity and teamwork!
