Robots - Part I

What if you could build your own robot to help you? What would your robot do? Would it keep you organized? Would it make music? What would it look like?

We are doing this lesson with the 4th graders right now as an introduction to low relief sculpture using shapes. First we had a discussion about robots and students drew design sketches. Then we started building our robots using found cardboard, scissors, glue, and colored paper. These are the results of the first half of the project.

Supplies

* Cardboard pieces

* Scissors

* Glue

* Colored paper

* Pencils + colored pencils

* Markers + crayons

* Paint + brushes

* Found metal pieces
