We had the best time today making a Cardboard City!
We have been studying relief sculptures in clay and continued in Cardboard. Lowly cardboard became a golden material as kids sifted through it to find the perfect pieces. Some groups worked together to create different buildings in the city. There is a church, a hotel, and lots of houses. It was the perfect group project for this "active" class of mostly boys because it allowed for independent creation and selective collaborations. In the end, without prompting, one boy put some buildings in the center of the room to see how they looked together, everyone followed his lead. So easy, so engaging, and so very creative.
