Today my 3D Art class took a quiz. This wasn’t a regular quiz and I’m pretty sure they have never done anything like it before. Yesterday in class we looked at some paper sculpture examples by Peter Callesen and students have an assignment to read an interview with Brian Dettmer. When they arrived today I gave them the necessary tools to take my quiz.
- Glue sticks
- Cutting mats
- And … One piece of copy paper (letter, legal, or tabloid)
Students could only have one sheet for the entire class period so I encouraged them to measure twice and cut once. They had (if they arrived on time) exactly 30 minutes to make a 3 dimensional sculpture out of paper alone. I like to see how creative they are, how many questions they ask, and how far they are willing to push the boundaries.
Here are some shots of them working on their pieces.
Students filled out a post-it at the end of class stating one thing they noticed while working.
