3D Artistic Abilities
Class#1
Getting to know Each other through our Favorite Foods
Description:
For our first class, students created their own 3D pieces depicting their favorite foods using various materials: tissue paper, cardboard, construction paper, etc. We began by defining what 3D art means- creating an art piece that has width, height and depth. Then we had a brief discussion about our favorite foods which led to a discussion about materials and how materials can be folded, crumpled, cut, glued and shaped to form our desired food. Each teacher showed example pieces along with sketches to show the planning and ideation to demonstrate various foods and how they were created. Students sketched their food and explored with materials to make 3D pieces. This was a fun project to get to know students on the first day through their favorite foods.
Essential Understandings
The essential understanding for this project was for students to explore forming and shaping 3D objects with various materials. Problem solving from ideation to creation was also an essential understanding in this project. These skills were the base to build on for following projects.
