Introduction:
Students will be told that they are doing another team art project.
However, this project will be different. Up until this point, students have
used paint, and coloring utensils but for this project, they will be
building.
Before introducing the activity, ask students if they have ever heard the
saying One mans trash is another mans treasure. Ask for responses
and discuss what they think it means.
Introduce the term sculpture and ask what students think a sculpture is
and where theyve sculptures before. What did they look like? Where
were they? What were they made of? Did they represent anything?
Tell students they will be creating junk sculptures: Introduce the idea
that they will be creating their own sculptures made from recycled
material and relate it back to the original saying, explaining that although
other people didnt want this material (it was their trash), we are going to
turn it into our treasure to create wonderful sculptures with it.
Show examples* on the board and discuss how materials have been
manipulated to create the sculptures. Get some ideas of what their
sculpture can be (stray from the idea that it can only be a personit can
be abstract.briefly define the term abstract and explain that their
sculpture does not have to resemble a being or even a specific object, but
MUST have meaning).
Explain that they will be working on their sculptures for a couple weeks.
After the sculptures are complete, students will have to write an
accompanying paragraph to explain the meaning of their sculpture and
what it represents.
