3D Spacecrafts

Following on from their 2D spacecrafts, students in grades 2/3/4 constructed these amazing 3D spacecrafts from polystyrene blocks. We discussed the difference between two-dimensional and three-dimensional works of art, and talked about how to use the materials to construct and build a 3D spacecraft. Students made use of polystyrene blocks, construction foam, supertac glue, pins, foil, sequins, hologram paper, pipe cleaners and rainbow wire to make their spacecrafts. Students were given freedom to design, create and build their own unique spacecraft without too much direction. These took two weeks to construct and the students were fully engaged in problem solving, creating, making and building in the art room during that time. We are very impressed with the results!
