Fourth grade Foil Figures

These are a nice 3-D addition to our intro on gesture drawing...




 
... each one is made from a sheet of aluminum foil, about 12" long.  Use this guide to make the cuts, then carefully bunch the parts together.  After the students made the figures and shadows, I did the gluing myself with a few dots of hot glue.

    So cool! I had to try it right away! Do you mark out the lines for the students to cut?

    No, but I draw a guide on the whiteboard for everyone to follow when making the cuts.

    how much aluminum foil containers did the grade level use up? I figured I'd buy it with my own money but I can see it getting costly quickly.

    Thank you Pinterest Gods for putting your site on my dashboard! I'll be linking to it in my blog if that's ok and using this fab sculpture lesson in both art and science (I teach both to Year 5 in Oman). Thank you again, take care x

      Sharpie, for tracing the figures and filling in. You could really use anything...
