2015-2016 Kick Off!

Welcome Back Bulldogs!  
Lets get right into this!!!!!!

Grades 4 and 5

Topography Creations. 
(idea)
What is topography?









Organic Shape - organic shapes are free-form, unpredictable and flowing in appearance. These shapes, as well as organic forms, visually suggest the natural world

Students begin with drawing an organic shape on a large piece of construction paper.  After they have it cut out they re-trace it on another piece and copy the line only a little smaller.  They keep this up until their pieces become small.  Once all the pieces are cut out they start to glue them together and put a small piece of styrofoam in between them to get the height to really show.  A suggestion is to try and place the styrofoam above one another, it will make it easier to press down once it has been built up.

Examples:
