From rectangles to circles, our projects in this program feature basic shapes and seeing those shapes in other things. The first project is a shape flower - basic shapes make up giant flowers arranged in a clay pot. Then we'll have a basic lesson on clay with our guest Linda Peterson. Next Prudy Vannier of the Society of Decorative Painters has our first painting lesson - today is all about choosing a surface. Then Linda is back to teach us how to make animals - it's all about shapes, of course. Then our last project is a triangle tessellation block - that's a repeating pattern that would continue forever without overlapping or leaving any gaps. 2008/CC Closed-Captioned PI 30 min.
