3D Artistic Abilities
Class#2
Exploring Animals through Recycled Materials
Description
For our second lesson, students created their own animals out of recycled materials. They created this animal by combining 2 to 3 different animal parts together to make one. This is relevant because skills learned in the previous lesson while making our 3D favorite foods were built on such as sketching possible ideas for the project as well as form building through different materials such as cardboard, yogurt containers, foam, pipe cleaners, pom poms, yarn, fabric, etc. This allowed for practice and repetition with skills and materials used and taught within our lessons.
Essential Understandings
The essential understanding for this project was for the students to form and shape 3D materials into morphed animal objects. Problem solving from the ideation to creation of their hybrid animals was an important part of understanding this projects. Skills learned during the first class served as a base for this project.
