and three- dimensional artworks
to express ideas, experiences or

Given black and colored strips of
construction paper and a glue
stick. And having received a demo,
to create their own box out of 2
strips of black paper and glue,
then are to make 5-8 different
shapes out of their strips of paper
and glue them into their boxes.
Students are to be able to see how
many sides are needed to make a
shape after the activity.

contrast the characteristics of a
variety of works of visual art.
After students have finished their
work and is put on a table with
