Success Criteria...

Students will be able to...

• Pre-plan their idea using appropriate orthographic drawing (front, plan, side) schematics

• Use contemporary and emerging technological resources in diverse and changing personal, community, and workplace environments

• Apply appropriate problem-solving strategies and critical thinking skills to work-related issues and tasks

Career Connections:

• Mechanical Engineer

• Toy designer

• Architect

• NASA engineers (bio-dome designers)

• Marketing Design Manager

Assignment:

You will be creating a small (8x8x8 cm- xyz, or another similar variation) sculpture inspired from a researched culture.

Sculpture Piece Process:

1. Choose a culture whose STYLE OF WORK you will research (it can be ancient or current!)

Some examples include: (if you want to do a different culture from this list, you can!)

Norse/Viking Culture

Chinese Art

Indian Art

African Art

Inuit Art

Native American Art

Japanese Art

Latin American Art

Islamic Art

Greek Art

Oceanic Art

2. In your notebook, answer the following questions about your culture:

a - What is the culture and where (geographically) is it from?

b - What sort of subject matter (common themes and images) does the culture use as imagery?

c - What meduim (type of material) does the culture typically use?

d - What kind of textures (smooth, rough, sharp, shaggy, etc) does the culture use or show? SKETCH SOME EXAMPLES

e - What are some of the common shapes (circles, triangles, organic, etc.) you see used in the culture's work? SKETCH SOME EXAMPLES

f - What do you think the cultural artists are trying to show or say with their work?

g- How can you use what you see in this culture's work to inspire your design?

3. Using this research, create 3 sketches (top, front, AND side views) of possible scultpure ideas -

measuring (8 x 8cm), include texture and shape in an interesting way, and are **doable in 3-4 class periods**

ONCE YOU HAVE COMPLETED 3 DIFFERENT IDEAS...

4. Check in with the teacher about your ideas and which one is your best option - teacher signature!

5. Make your design in TinkerCAD (remember, 8x8x8 cm- or another similar variation).

6. Save your file as: COLOR_LASTNAME_PROJECT (Silver_Yelenick_Sculpture)

7. Send your design as a LINK (Send To --> Invite People --> Link) and submit it to Mrs. Yelenick via google classroom

8. Fill out your RUBRIC, attach your sketches (I should have signed these!) and turn in to me!
