This was a fun start-of-the-year project for my 4/5 grade class. Using black marker, they divided a 9" x 12" sheet of paper with intersecting straight lines, then wrote their names on an angle. They filled in the spaces within the sections formed with patterns they chose. We stressed being creative with the patterns, and how any repeating image can form a pattern, even spider webs or paw prints! Clicking on any image brings you to the picture gallery.
