3D Minibeasts

As part of their unit on minibeasts, students in grades 1 and 2 are creating all sorts of crazy critters in the art room! Last week we used coloured plasticine to create 3D models of minibeasts. Bees, spiders, scorpions, butterflies, ladybugs, caterpillars and snails were all popular choices amongst students. Students were given a short demonstration on how to create and use 3D shapes to the form the body and head of their minibeast. Students also learned how to create eyes and used matchsticks and pipe cleaners to add legs and antennae to their minibeast.

Some of them looked so life-like that I was a little scared by the spiders! Well done grade 1 and 2!
