curvy, loopy, swirly

Oh, the places you'll go! Mariah, Amanda, and Cara began their lesson with Dr. Seuss' famous book as an introduction to this abstract 3-D project. The teachers instructed us in creating our own places out of construction paper. After demonstrations of various ways to fold and cut our paper, we used the construction paper at our tables to created a 3-D "town."

My town, "Marapolis" was created with the warm colors of orange, red, and yellow. Another table used cool colors, and another, complimentary colors. We were to include at lease three different kinds of folds and at least a total of seven pieces.

An extension activity could include students writing about the town they live in compared to what it would be like to the town they have created in the 3-D project.

Have a creative day!
