Temporary Site Sculpture
During the week of October 16th, 4th grade Drew Charter students participated in a site sculpture workshop lead by Young Audiences teaching-artist Jeff Mather. Students were asked to create a quick temporary sculpture to inspire their imagination for the possibility for a more permanent installation on campus.
While working on the temporary sculpture, students learned how to use tools successfully and design on the fly in a collaborative manner. Students used the elements of art and principles of design to make the sculpture. They also practiced decision-making skills, problem solving, and communication skills.
After students finished the temporary sculpture, they went inside to create sketches for a possible future permanent project. This workshop was made possible through Drew Charter’s partnership with Georgia State University and was designed to be a collaborative STEAM project rooted in the Art and Engineering Design classes.
