Describe procedures for how you will teach 3D using cheap or found materials to young adults following through with how you would have them complete a successful piece of art using these skills. Lesson ideas from today can be used or you may find something totally different. Use as many images as you need, it can address any level of student or course in this age group. Feel free to gather resources from the Internet.

There was a small exercise my 760 course where a student can roll newspaper sheets to make tubes for a 3-D design. I could use this same exercise for the first week and then continue by having students design on a found material that they can at least assemble 50 of the pieces.
Found material could be dumpster diving probably something the teacher will have to do.
Find things like:
Cardboard
paper clips
notebook paper
buttons
old markers that are dried out
outdoor items
rocks/pebels
tree leaves
sticks
legos

Any time that is attainable appropriate and comes with many.






Tape and plastic wrap for 3-D design 2 to make ghostly body parts and figures.


For a young age group possibly a lesson on 3-D design with Jelly Beans. For the youth they can engineer cubes and stack them by conjoining tooth pics and the beans end on end.

class room examples of the Newspaper Idea, copper and Twist-ez for a 3-D design exercise.

In these design we were told to experiment and understand to workings of the material. Perhaps for a high school class the students will be given one class period to work with multiple material. On day 2 they are to have come back and decide on a famous building structure and assemble the structure with the material they have gotten use to. They could assemble a small 10 inch scale model of the famous architecture of their choice.
