Collaborative Cube Sculpture

Our fifth graders worked really hard over several class periods to complete the sculpture that was unveiled at our school carnival.  I was so proud of them! We practiced a lot of geometric vocabulary and added abstract and realistic faces to our cubes.  Our idea came from a sculpture that was completed by students from the Nasher Museum Summer Institute for Teens.  Click below to watch our slide show to see the sculpture from many angles, just as if you were there in person.  After our unveiling, the fifth graders took turns reassembling the cubes into different arrangements.  In small groups, they discussed and critiqued their own work, looking at the elements of art and principles of design.  It was a wonderful learning experience for all of us!
