Pick-A-Piece Masterpiece — ALEXANDER CALDER: This comes with a little background on Calder, some of his most famous pieces and background on them and the chart to play the "game". A little similar to the dice rolling game I've created because I could never find the silly dice and then students would fight over etc. so I just eliminated it — students get to pick their own shape from each row, giving them at least 6 shapes to work with to create their own Masterpiece. Or pick 2 if you need more!
This is a little different because students are creating a mobile on paper, taking 3D to 2D. Great practice run before an actual sculpture project.
Also includes enlarged images for print or digital display (4 pages)
Great for warm up to introduce a more in depth lesson or use by itself. You could have students use another choice from each row to make it more complex — they redraw and create their own masterpiece!
