Creatures


Kindergartners find parts to a mechanical human. They study human structure and create diagrams depicting the major parts of the body. This will help them with any art they do in the future that includes people.

Grade 01 students find a mechanical woman with a broken mechanical lizard. The students study on animal structure and create diagrams to help them understand animal shapes.

Grade 02 encounters a mechanical traveler and her companions (a lizard she rides, a pet cat and a pet bird). They study the artist Chris Cole and look at movies of his kinetic sculptures (sculptures that move). They spend time studying animal structure, then create paper kinetic sculptures of four-legged creatures.
