I will assemble various materials (paper cup, toilet paper tube, toilet paper) to create a three-dimensional form.
I will explore how different materials (toilet paper, water, watercolor, and Sharpies) interact to create texture and color on their 3D form.
I will manipulate the materials to create a unique shape for their bottle, learning about volume and form.
I will apply watercolor to add color and use Sharpies to add detailed patterns or designs to their bottle.
I will create an original design, focusing on how to personalize the 3D bottle with patterns, textures, and color combinations.
3D Form: An object that has height, width, and depth, making it appear to exist in three dimensions.
Assembly: The process of putting materials together to form a structure or shape.
Mixed Media: The use of different materials and techniques in a single artwork (e.g., toilet paper, watercolor, Sharpies).
Pattern: A repeated design or sequence of shapes or colors used to decorate the bottle.
Sculpture: A three-dimensional work of art that is created by shaping or assembling materials.
Texture: The way a surface feels or is perceived to feel; in this project, texture is created by layering wet toilet paper.
Unique shape: A shape that is distinct and individualized, made by manipulating the materials into a custom design.
Volume: The amount of space an object occupies, an important concept when creating a 3D form.

Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work.
VA
.1.5: Experiment and develop skills in multiple art-making techniques and approaches through practice (e.g., manipulating paper, water, and paint).
VA
.2.5: Demonstrate quality craftsmanship through care for and use of materials, tools, and equipment (e.g., careful assembly of the bottle).
Anchor Standard 3: Refine and complete artistic work.
VA
.1.5: Create artist statements using art vocabulary to describe personal choices in art-making (e.g., choices of colors and patterns).
Presenting:
Anchor Standard 4: Select, analyze, and interpret artistic work for presentation.
VA
.1.5: Define the roles and responsibilities of a curator and explore how they impact what is seen by an audience (e.g., preparing their artwork for display).
Responding:
Anchor Standard 7: Perceive and analyze artistic work.
VA

Connecting:
Anchor Standard 10: Synthesize and relate knowledge and personal experiences to make art.
VA
.1.5: Apply knowledge of art and design to create works that communicate meaning (e.g., relating their bottle design to personal experiences).
