In “The World of Art”, 6th grade students had opportunities to explore numerous ways in which
artists contribute to their communities.
• Our first lessons
• focused on architecture.
• We learned the basic
• skills and terminology of
• architecture…
In our next assignment we applied our skills to the basic principals of theatrical set design.
Students conceived of characters, sets and props.
We built our “sets” with two hinged “wing” walls, and one back wall, using the format that professional designers
apply to build sets for popular television shows.
• One student • arrived at a unique• solution to this• assignment• by creating a design
of• a Phoenix rising from• the center of the• “stage”.
Design concepts flow naturally into each other as we allow ourselves to have fun with the materials.
Students explored “Form” by carving abstract shapes out of foam and covering their resulting sculptures in plaster.
