Create your own small or large box skyscraper sculpture, or build one with your friends or family.
What will my children learn?
During this lesson your children will –
Explore how the two worlds of natural subjects and urban scenes, both painted by O’Keeffe, can live alongside each other.
Experiment with balance, stability, and structure as they build their skyscrapers from boxes.
Plan and construct a vertical model, thinking about height, layers, and proportions.
Use recycled materials to build their models, promoting sustainability and demonstrating how everyday materials can be transformed into imaginative creations.
Exploring texture, colour, and detail by cutting, gluing and decorating their towers.
Practice critical thinking, and if working together they will practice sharing ideas, and problem-solving.
Discover how nature and man-made can be combined in different ways to create unique art.
