Circus figures from squares, triangles, circles, and ovals. Student drawings, adult art class, 3/24/14

Shapes into figures: 

Divide 8.5 x 11 card stock into quarters 

Divide first box into rectangles of various sizes and proportions touching each other - like a quilt, a crazy quilt. 

Box 2- triangles 

Box 3- circles 

Box 4- ovals 

Cut out the shapes. 

Create a figure out of each set of shapes:

One at a time, tracing around the shapes as you go, and creating your composition or design as you go.

Option 2: Create the figures on cardstock or copy paper quarter pieces. Cut out the figures. Use them as templates  to create a large composition. Many more options to try as well! 

Demo drawing in random order but at least numbered:
