3D Design

For this project, we focused on 3D design. We began by discussing the artist Claes Oldenburg, and how he has famous sculptures around the world. To complete this project, my partner and I painted paper plates using a solid color on one side and split colors on the other side. Once the paint dried, we connected each of the plates together to resemble something similar to a hot air balloon. While this lesson was about 3D design, a lot of color theory was used as well.

For an extension activity for this project, students could each of the colors on their balloon a different meaning, and with these meanings write a short reflection on what their balloon represents based on the colors that they chose to use.
