If you participated in the Winter AOE conference, you will recognize this great project. We received a materials sample in the SWAG box. I feel in love with it right away and knew it would be a way to use my stash of twistee wire and a new way to have students demonstrate movement in their art. The challenge was to create movement and the work had to balance. I have done a twistee wire project in the past but this one is a little simpler and a lot more interesting. I had the black ovals stashed away from a donation from another teacher, they worked great for the bases. As you can see, some students opted to decorate the bases as well as the cardboard pieces that make the bodies of their people. I know my 4th graders struggled with this in the beginning but in the end, they loved their creations and were so excited to take them home!
