Project description/Expedition:
"You are going to be sculptors today! And our creation is going to focus on movement! As a sculptor, we have the option to use many different materials. Today, we are going to use pipe cleaners to make a sculpture of a person or figure who is moving."
The prompt above will be given to students to get them to start thinking about movement and how pipe cleaners can be used to express movement in sculpture.
Essential Understanding:
By exploring our body movements and positions, students will assemble a three-dimensional art work that captures a figure or object in motion.
Inquiry/Learning target:
Students will be able to create a pipe cleaner sculpture that evokes the sense of movement.
Key Concept(s):
Three-dimensional
Movement
Shape
Planning
Skill(s):
Students will discuss different ways they move during different activities. Students will make decisions about how they want to sculpt their pipe cleaners to describe a movement or action.
Art Focus:
Students will be exploring with pipe cleaners, acrylic paint, paint brushes, large pieces of paper, and card board to use as a stand for finished sculptures.
Literacy Focus:
Vocabulary: two-dimensional, three-dimensional, discovery, movement, planning.
Literacy Integration: Verbalization of planning, verbalization of thoughts on sculpture through a learning target board and discovery board

Students discuss what they believe movement looks like. A student describes that he knew a sculpture by Chris Mason was a sculpture about movement because "he was stuck to the wall." |
|
A student describes that he knows his model is running because he "told him to." He also knows his model is running because the arms are bent and not straight. |
A student demonstrates how his sculpture moves rather than shows movement. |
