WORKSHEET

DESIGN YOUR OWN CHAIR

Create sketches of different shapes and forms that you find interesting. Once you
have several drawings, select one to render in three dimensions using clay or
another type of modeling materials.

Consider how the form you chose could be applied to the design of a chair to be
used in a specific setting, such as a lounge chair for the beach, a theater seat, or an
astronaut’s seat on a long flight to outer space. What features would it require to
serve its function? What would it look like? What materials would you use to make
it?

Draw a preliminary sketch of your chair design and share it.
