3-D Micro Lesson

This 3-D art project was the micro lesson my group had to teach. We began by reading the Dr. Suess book, Oh the places you go. This gave the students visuals and could get their imaginations rolling about Who-villes. Once we read the book we showed a few more pictures and introducing some vocabulary that went along with the project, such as complementary colors, warm colors, cool colors, and 3-D design. After, we modeled 3 different types of folds: bend, twist, tunel. We had the students back their art work first, with the color types they were assigned. Each tabel was assigned either cool, warm, or complementary colors to use. We then told them they had to use 7 different pieces of paper and had to have 3 different types of folds. They then got to explore and use their creativity to create and name their Who-villes. It was a fun project that sparked great creativity.

An additional project or extension could be to write about the Who-villes they created. We could also have the students explore 3-D design and research about different architects and places which have 3-D design.

Eye Popping into Whoville
This was our bulletin board we put up to display all the students' art work.
