Presentation Transcript

  1. Art & Math (in Motion) M.Schroeder February 6, 2016

  2. Luchtkasteel by Tom de Munk-Kerkmeer

  3. Land of Giants, 98-ft (30 m) tall towers designed by Choi + Shine Architects, 2008

  4. Sculptures

  5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_lcZcBcQ0o Video of a rollercoaster ride Get ready!

  6. What do the 2 sculptures and the video have in common?

  7. What math tool could be called a LINE?

  8. Measure 12” 7 ½ inches 10 ¼” 8 inches 26cm

  9. Check for understanding • Line the correctly measured strips of paper on your board…students can be directed to check themselves • Create a “master” check sheet for each table…have groups monitor each other • Give **BONUS** measurements to challenge students beyond the given measurements

  10. PART 2 CREATE IMAGINE

  11. Using your measured straight lines, you may fold, flip, or curl your paper strips to create new lines.

  12. What new lines did you discover? • Zigzag • Spiral • Loop

  13. If you were an ENGINEER or ARCHITECT, could you design a rollercoaster?

  14. As an ENGINEER or ARTIST, what would your rollercoaster model look like?

  15. Think like an artist… • PLAN • LOOK AT THE SCULPTURE FROM ALL SIDES, ALL ANGLES • IMAGINE • TRY TWO IDEAS BEFORE YOU GLUE • BE DIFFERENT • SHARE • HAVE FUN

  16. DIFFERENT IDEAS FOR UNIQUE KIDS Thicker strips for younger thinkers Planned color schemes (B&W, cool/warm, complementary,…) Designing a CART with a model of themselves in it Limit/increase the number of paper strips Group your students Change the scale or materials(cardboard, cardstock, found objects, tape/straws, spaghetti noodles/tape…)

  17. …Thank you!
