Playground Engineers

Collaboration!

The Kindergarten classes are beginning to work on sculptural projects this week.  They were asked to use paper to build a playground.  Their inspiration image was one of Alexander Calder's circus assemblage sculptures.  They talked about what makes something a sculpture, and they practiced folding, curling and attaching paper scraps into forms resembling playground structures.  They had lots of fun, and are ready to move on to other 3-D projects!
