Description: This project incorporates physical movement into 3D design. Students take turns drawing a stick figure outline of their partner. For this, students must be able to only focus on the main idea and outline instead of trying to incorporate every detail. They must also use a pose to create with pipe cleaners. One thing that I didn't think about as I created the stick figure is that it needs to be balanced in order to stand up straight. Because of this, I had to use pipe cleaners to support it. That is something that the teacher should remind the students of before they decide on on a pose for their 3D figure. Finally, the students cover the whole thing with aluminum foil.
Extension: Students could research different types of sports poses. They could incorporate sports that they are interested in, but haven't been able to try yet. They could also do a reflection on how a person would have to train in order to be able to do those poses. This way, students could think about the work involved in being an athlete and think about whether or not they would like to pursue it. It also could open up their mind to the work that it takes to become other kinds of athletes, which might be something new for them to think about.
