Birds, Balloons, and an Ottoman Empire Fortress

2/24/2024

0 Comments

 
Second grade art students have painted with watercolor around paper bird designs they made by drawing and assembling parts of the birds.  Watercolored shapes and linear crayon patterns in the sky echo the shapes of the birds and help to unify the compositions.  

Fifth grade art students have recently been creating virtual models of hot-air balloons with Sketch Up for Schools computer-aided design (CAD) software on Chromebooks.  Students used shapes and lines to create a half-profile of a balloon and then spun it with the "follow me" tool to create the 3D form.  Students arranged copies of their balloons so that a group appears to be flying.  Students colored their balloons and the background space in individually expressive ways. The first steps in the construction of the balloons are shown below in a CAD design by Joey Burgess, whose final work also appears here.

The 3D print shown below is a model of the Yedikule Fortress, a 15th century Ottoman Empire structure in Istanbul, Turkey.  The model was designed for a 6th grade social studies project by Liam Parker with Tinkercad computer-aided design software.   Mr. Bell provided technical instruction.
