Simple Squares



Who is that you see in the picture above? 




If you guessed President Abraham Lincoln you are right. 
I like the idea that you can create a picture of someone with just simple squares.
You notice that the picture is all black, gray and white.
Wouldn't it be fun to divide a sheet of white paper into squares and have the children shade each square in a way to make a picture of something?  I wonder what they would decide to make.  Or maybe we could give them a picture of their teacher or an apple or a flag on a flagpole. 



Shape is something that can be so simple. 
Have fun.
