3D Fish

For this project we worked with 3-dimensional design.  We talked about the difference between 2D and 3D.  We also learned about the artist Claes Oldenburg.  He has one of his 3D sculptures in Minneapolis called the Spoonbridge and Cherry.  For our project we created a 3D fish with construction paper.  We did a lot of folding and cutting to create the 3D fish.  We cut out eyes, a tail, and fins to add to our fish.  The fish turned out great and this project was a great way to follow a step by step lesson.

An extension activity could be to research other 3D animals the students could make if we were talking about different types of animals in Kindergarten.  We could also use the 3D fish and make more specific types of fish and talk about animals in the ocean and have a lesson on that.  This project is a great way to decorate your room and show off what the students created.
