Creating with an app is nice. But, creating with an app and being able to print and use your creation is great! This tool provides the opportunity to hone the skills related to spacial awareness, three-dimensional thinking, creativity,...

So many shapes in our vast oceans. Young explorers can discover new shapes in a variety of ways in this lesson. One way is having free exploration with a pattern shape kit handed out by the teacher. Another is by viewing a...

Students explore geometry by participating in a shape identification activity. In this figure dimensions lesson plan, students identify the difference between 2 and 3 dimensional shapes by their vertices and faces. Students examine...

Ask elementary students to explore shapes in everyday objects. They will discuss the elements of design and describe the shapes they see in visual images. Students will then design and "build" a new 3D shape. Finally they will show and...

Budding artists or mathematicians read about,and then draw, two very different shapes. Geometric and organic 2-D shapes are defined. Learners use the definitions to draw examples of each.

Learners draw, and then paint three-dimensional bottles to practice shading which shows shape and perspective. The step-by-step process for creating dimensional still life art is outlined, which makes teaching art an attainable task. Oil...

Students photograph shapes around their school and create a shape movie.  In this shape hunting lesson, students recognize shapes in a shape hunt.  Students can identify the shapes recorded by others in the class.

Older artists create 2-dimensional surfaces with paint, then use these paintings as the components of a 3-dimensional sculpture. They assemble a free-standing sculpture that may be viewed from any angle by using wire to create the shape....

Young scholars take a 2 dimensional drawing and make it into a 3 dimensional form. In this art lesson plan, students base their work off of Keith Haring, and view slides and a video of other 3D art.

Students watch a video and slides to view Keith Haring's work of 3 dimensional forms based on 2 dimensional imagery. For this 3 dimensional forms lesson plan, students analyze symbols and discuss lines, sound, movement, and emotions.

Young artists create a freestanding 3-dimensional sculpture using wire and modeled "clay" pieces. This immensely creative and engaging lesson should get your kids excited, because the medium is unusual to work with. Everything you need...

Students construct 3-dimensional structures from 2-dimensional paper. They design and compile their structures to resemble a neighborhood community.

Young scholars view pictures of and discuss geometric shapes included in kites from Guatemala. They discuss the repetition of shapes and how that creates a motif. Students draw three concentric arches across their paper. They create a...

Fourth graders construct papier mache sculptures that emphasize texture, form and color. Each student chooses and constructs a unique papier mache sculpture of a farm animal..

Get creative and use a tissue paper collage to make wonderful window hangings for the classroom. You'll find the materials list, objectives, and instructions needed to complete this fun activity. This project encourages eye-hand...

Scissors, glue, and an old book. Punches, crimpers, and rulers. Kids gather their tools and get set to create relief sculptures by deconstructing books.

Fourth graders choose and construct farm animal paper mache sculptures. They paint their sculptures using primary colors and mixing colors, and explore various textures and forms.
