Let's begin...
You will need small construction paper, scissors, glue, crayons, pencil.
You will learn how to make a symmetrical shape by folding paper, pattern, line variety, positive & negative shape.
FOLD paper in half, horizontal or vertical. TURN fold to left, DRAW a hook on the fold, CUT along hook. OPEN positive shape to reveal heart...
Above is an example of a positive blue shaped heart cut out & the negative blue piece left from it. They can both be used... π
Here above, I am using the positive blue heart on orange. After gluing the heart to a background paper, use crayons to add in lines, patterns, designs & doodles around and in heart.
Almost done...
Below, I placed the blue negative heart on a yellow paper and traced it. I removed the negative to draw designs with crayon again...
When designs on negative heart were done, I glued the blue negative onto the yellow background...
I then used the crayons to decorate the pliΓ© negative heart.
