Our 3D Communities

 On Tuesday September 30, 2014 our class was asked to create a demo lesson plan.  Prior to fulfilling our lesson plan, we discussed in our group (Team Winter) that earlier in the year we would have done previous lessons on various items.  These items include:

An art lesson explaining what art is, and how it could include different mediums, such as colour, line. shape, and texture. We would also do another lesson on how to build a 3D sculptures. To incorporate other subject areas we would conduct a social studies lesson about "What does community mean?" and "What does a community look like?"

For our actual demo lesson we decided to tackle a Grade 3 PLO, which was "A4 - experiment with materials, technologies, and processes to create particular effects."  

Our learning intention was I can build a 3D community using various materials to create particular effects.  The following pictures show the outcome of our (Team Winter's) demo lesson.   

 Team Summer came up with a brilliant design incorporating a wall made out of birch bark, supposedly from the television and book series The Game of Thrones.  This 3D Community Model also encompasses a clash between ancient civilization, the modern era, and the futuristic era.   
 Team Fall featuring Steffanie and Adrian present a remarkable 3D Community that entails a river, and an exuberant rainbow feature.  This work of art also contains a fall-looking tree to suite the team name, and also an exciting path leading to the rainbow.   
 Last but not least, Team Spring presents a 3D Community Model of Prince George.  In this model you can see where the Nechako River meets the Fraser River.  A stunning Mr. PG Man overlooks the community and towers over the two rivers for extra protection.  On the left side there is also an aesthetically pleasing gardenesque landscape to top off this wonderful creation.  

Another look at Team Spring proud of their collaborative efforts.  This picture also gives you an idea on how big these 3D representations were in comparison to my fellow classmates in this picture.
