As part of their unit of inquiry students were asked to consider using reusable objects as a means to making something creative and useful. They were exposed to a series of discardable materials and encouraged to reconsider them in a different way so that a plastic bottle could suddenly become an aeroplane or a yogurt carton could be turned into a flower pot! These challenges allowed students to become aware that everyday objects could be given an entirely different meaning.
Take a look at the process in PYP 3 Sigma:
Planning ideas in the Arts Research Books
Students were asked to sketch an idea of what they wanted to make with reusable materials
Selecting and mounting reusable materials
Students were encouraged to select their materials and then reflect on how they could arrange them and join them
together
Working towards the final piece
Students worked individually and in groups to find ways of decorating their final reusable object
