Mini-Golf Design Project Integrates Art and Math

3/26/2022

2 Comments

 
Seventh graders have recently been creating mini-golf lanes (or holes) with Tinkercad computer-aided design software for a math-art integrated STREAM assignment.  In the first stage of the project, students create and label the segments of their putting lanes, as well as obstacles that contact the putting surface.  In Mrs. Cvetan's math class, students use measurements of components of their models to calculate surface area, perimeter, and cost of materials.  Their math calculations relate to the putting surface and walls, but not to the elaborate sculptural obstacles and forms above or around the putting area.  During this project, Mr. Bell and Mrs. Cvetan would team teach the 7W class for about 45 minutes per week.  

After fulfilling the math requirements of the assignment while working in art class and math class, students continue to develop their mini-golf lanes as works of digital art.  The complex sculptural forms in the works in this display were all created by our student artists with only the simple shape tools of the Tinkercad engineering software.

Mrs. Cvetan and Mr. Bell developed this project last year.

Kindergarten art students traced cardboard rectangles to draw the main shapes of the bodies of their giraffes.  By arranging the rectangles to create the general shape of the animals, students learned that simple shapes can be used to make more complex forms.  Tempera paint was applied with cotton swabs and fingers.

7W Robotics

3/9/2022

As a culminating activity for their work with robotics construction and programming, the 7W class is shown running their robots in this video. Working in groups of 3 or 4, students built their EV3 Lego robots according to specifications. They programmed their robots with the EV3 Classroom iPad app to use color sensors to drive along the edges of black lines. Each team designed their own track so their robot could follow the line to each of 3 target objects. The goal was to program the robots to pick up each object, throw it into a "catcher box" with a forked lifter arm, and return to the base area. As you can see in the video, all eight teams were successful. Great job, 7W!

Sixth graders recently designed their "dream homes" with Tinkercad computer-aided design software on their iPads.  To supplement their poetry work in Mrs. Wingfield's 6th grade language arts class, students created 3D crossword designs with Tinkercad in art class.  The words in their designs are from their poems.

Fourth graders have recently been creating sculptures of sailboats on waves and eighth graders have made human figure models.  Both of these projects involve multi-step processes and a variety of materials.  Students employ spatial reasoning as they express their creativity while completing these assignments.  ​
