Lesson 1, directions and grade sheet: 

• Follow directions on measurements
• The border should be painted in spectrum order
• Divide the paper up appropriately in the center to form 4 areas to create a symmetrical or radial design.
• Create a geometric design with approximately 20 shapes in each quadrant
• Paint the inside design with a variety of primary, secondary and intermediate colors.
• Paint Neatly

Lesson 2, directions and grade sheet:

• Follow directions on measurements
• The border should be painted in spectrum order
• Divide the center into 2 or 4 sections
• Create a design from a fish, bird, flower, or talk to me about any idea that is different. Fill the design area so it touches all four sides
• Transfer that design to the 2 quadrants or 4 quadrants, make the designs reflect or radiate
• Paint the inside by making the main design in warm colors and the background in cool colors
• Paint Neatly

Lesson 3, directions and grade sheet:

• Follow directions on measurements
• The border should be painted in spectral order
• Divide the center into 4 sections; I want you to tell a sequential story in the center. Each quadrant will be a different sequence in the story. The designs should touch the edges in each quadrant; keep them simple lines and shapes. Your story could be a nursery rhyme or children’s book, a holiday story, ect.
• Paint the foreground warm and the background cool
