Have you played the shape game before?

Using the shapes drawn by Anthony, Year 4 used their imagination and created very unique pieces of art
















Here are the finished shapes
























Now Year 4 play with each other. Take the pen on a journey and draw an abstract image, swap with your partner and make the shape come to life.

  13. It was so fun doing the shape game I did a man thats all disy in his head hes called dizo and I liked the one when we had to get with a patener and our patener had to draw a shape and u had to turn it into somthing my patener drew a shape like a star and i put a face on it with dots on its face too thats the one that looks like Elvis Mrwalls. At the end of the day Mrswarner gave us some fun homework we had to turn her shape that she drew into somthing I was going to turn it into some cheese but that was too easy so I turned it into a Dove.

  15. Hello Year 4,

    Your creations are stunning. I can remember a game like this when I was a boy except we called it Squiggles. One person would draw some sort of jumbled drawing we called squiggles. The next person had to see what they could turn the squiggle into. In the shape game, you start with a shape and see what you can create. I can only conclude you all have wonderful imaginations. Well done!
