This was a project that I was sooo excited to try out with my practicum class. I had originally found the project idea on Pinterest. There was a link to an art blog created by two mothers at Pikadilly Charm. They had created fabulous step by step instructions that really helped with the planning process for this lesson. According to the P.L.O's in British Columbia students need to be able to
  create 2-D and 3-D images 
 -to illustrate a point in time.
Creating 3-D art was something these particular students have never had the opportunity to do an they were BEYOND excited to try it out!! To really enhance their 3-D scene I decided to incorporate elements of nature. This gave me the opportunity to get the kids outside and use their senses to make observations about their surroundings and collect things that particularly represented the fall season to use in this art project. ( Science P.L.O's- processes: use their senses to interpret observations).
I was so happy with how the lesson went and how engaged the students were. They were really able to understand the concept of 3-D versus 2-D and had a great time creating these cool works of art. They all received so many compliments on their creations and were quite proud of themselves. It made my teacher heart happy to see them take pride in their work. :)
