Project/Unit description/Expedition: Tosalba is back and is wondering on how and why you build things that can’t shelter you from the elements? They are wondering why you build things of great size that are not made to cover people. So in order to help explain monuments to Tosabla you need to create your own that is made in memory of someone or something.

With an initial question the student is able to describe what she is making and who she is making it for. She's adding feathers to her monument because her sister likes feathers. She is clarifying beliefs through what each item means and the overall design in relation to the person who it dedicated to. She is also creating things abstractly and relating them to real life items and situations. This student is also creating her ideas in tactile form and expressing herself artistically in the 3rd dimension. |
