3-D Design

This week in art we were fourth graders and were learning about 3-D design. We listened to a few pages from the book Oh the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss. Then we had to create our own town or village using the illustrations on the pages of the book. We had to use our imaginations. My table was assigned to use complementary colors so I used blue and orange. The others choices were purple and yellow or red and green. The other two tables, one was given cool colors and the other was given the warm colors. We then had to bend, curl, and twist paper to form a 3-D design. Finally we had to give our towns a name. My towns name was Crazy Spiral Town.


An extension activity would be to have the students create a story that would take place in their town. They could also talk about the history of the town and maybe how the town got its name.
