Mobile of Floating Fears

This project integrated natural science, poetry and sculpture.
Teachers began this project by free-writing on fear. Using recycled materials, teachers then drew a silhouette of an indigenous predator with their non-favored hand. Teachers integrated words and phrases from their writing into their drawing. Silhouettes were then cut and assembled into 3-D objects using simple joints. Teachers worked collaboratively to attach all of the elements into one balanced mobile.
