Kindergarten and first graders had so much fun creating these unique, wearable sculptures. After talking about what a sculpture is, students were given the challenge of transforming a flat, 2-dimensional piece of paper into an amazing 3-dimensional creation!
They worked really hard on them for two classes. The first day was spent transforming the basic hat shape into an original form--one that didn't look like anybody else's. I was amazed at what these kids all came up with--SO creative!
During the second class, students added paper embellishments. I demonstrated how to fan-fold, curl, and fringe-cut strips of paper to get them started, and they took it from there. We also discussed how a sculpture should look interesting from all sides, so students made sure that no matter how they wore their hats, they would be fun to look at!
Of course, the best part was getting to wear the hats once they were finished and pose for a silly picture!
