Project 1: Reverse-Illuminated Letters

In an effort to get to know one another better, and as a fun way to explore pattern, design, as well as negative and positive space, our middle school art students reverse-illuminated the first letter of their first names. This means that instead of decorating the inside of their letter, they left their letter untouched, and instead created designs in the space around the letter.

Everyone did such a wonderful and creative job. It was also fun to create words by combining the letters together. Literacy! Yay!
