Tube Sculptures - Second Semester, 2007

Terms 3 and 4 meant a new group of 6th and 7th graders. I think the tube sculpture project was even more successful the second time around.






I allowed the students to be more representational with their sculptures. I learned that the abstract aspect of this project is better suited to older students. For these middle school kids, it's enough that they experiment with materials and discover which building methods are most successful.




Translating a 2-D drawing into a 3-D reality is quite enough of a challenge for a 6th and 7th grade student.
