Organic and Geometric Creatures

To explore the element of art shape, sixth grade art students looked at organic and geometric shapes. Organic shapes are usually found in nature, and consist of irregular and curved outlines. Geometric shapes can be found in math class and usually have sharp edges and precise angles. 

 

After we learned how to tell the difference between the two types of shape, students created drawings of made-up creatures using only geometric or only organic shapes. The students were encouraged to think of outrageous creatures and come up with the most creative way to use shapes as possible. The result was really great. Can you tell which drawings are organic, and which are geometric?
