Directions:

Step 1: Look at the artwork and answer questions 1-3.

Step 2: Many of Alexander Calder’s artworks invite the viewer in to play or interact with the work. Imagine Alexander Calder was asked to design a playground with his sculptures. What would the playground look like? How would you be able to interact with it? What type of movements would you make while playing on it? Would you jump, slide or spin?

Step 3: Create a playground inspired by Alexander Calder using only paper, scissors and glue (or tape).

If you don’t have construction paper use printer paper and color it in!
