Exploring Planet Plastic: Designing a 3D Sculpture

Learning Objective

Understand the process of planning a 3D sculpture and the theme of Planet Plastic.

What do you already know about 3D sculptures and the impact of plastic on our planet?

Introduction to 3D Sculptures

3D sculptures are three-dimensional artworks created by shaping or combining materials. They can be made using various techniques and materials.

Understanding the Theme: Planet Plastic

The theme of Planet Plastic focuses on raising awareness about the environmental impact of plastic pollution on our planet.

Brainstorming Ideas

Encourage students to brainstorm ideas for their 3D sculpture based on the theme of Planet Plastic. Consider elements such as plastic waste, marine life, and environmental degradation.

Sketching the Concept

In this phase, students will sketch their ideas for the 3D sculpture, focusing on form, composition, and the incorporation of plastic materials.

Selecting Materials

Discuss the selection of materials for the 3D sculpture, emphasizing the use of recycled or repurposed plastic as a key element.

Planning the Construction

Students will plan the construction process, considering the assembly of components, structural integrity, and methods for incorporating plastic elements.

Reflection and Feedback

Conclude with a reflection session where students share their plans and provide constructive feedback to their peers.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
