Artsy chairs

The student will create a mini 3-D chair.

1. Paint a design on sturdy paper.

Finished paintings

2. While it’s drying, draw designs for your chair. Be creative!

Rules: • Your chair must be at least 6 inches tall.• Your chair must stand by itself.• You must add some sort of support.• You can only use glue. (No tape, staples) • Craftsmanship is a MUST!

*The drawing is your 2-D chair because you can only measure the height and width.

*The actual chair after is glued together is your 3-D chair because you can measure the height, width, AND depth.

Draw lots of ideas!
