Funny Faces and Chicago's Crown Fountain


Some 3rd Grade Models and Chicago's Public Sculpture
The third grade is continuing their study of the art of Chicago with a project based on one of the city's beloved fountains.  The Crown Fountain is a work of technology, science and art that has a fascinating design.  The students learned some interesting facts including how the fountain shuts itself off in high winds and how over 1000 faces are randomly displayed on a loop.  We used rulers to create a template to fold and glue the rectangular shape.  The students drew faces and folded the form before gluing it to a collaged background and adding the "water feature" with tissue paper.  Here are some photos of the process and some of the proud artists.

Anthony is cutting out the template he drafted.

Angelia has started drawing on her template.
