Reflections

The inspiration for the projects solely came from the students.  One way to integrate the project with the humanities would be to conduct research on particular artists that used similar geometric shapes, in order to foster the creative process.  In such an integration, students could also write a paper regarding their inspiration for the design and their influences.

Supporting Diverse Learners

This project is perfect for multiple ability grouping because the task could be made simple or complex depending on the team.  Creative expression thrives on diversity.  After lectures covering the complementary content standards, the high performing students could jump back on the project, while the students that need clarification on the concepts are given an opportunity to ask more questions.
