Project Title: Flying Bird Pop-up
Medium: Construction Paper Collage
Grade Theme: Land and Sky

Overview: Students will create a kinetic bird collage pop-up sculpture using construction paper 
Art Skills:, cutting, gluing, composition
Process: Students will draw, cut and glue landscapes of construction paper and cardstock.  They will then make bird parts (body and head, and two separate wings) by tracing their hands and collaging with paper scraps.  Students will then bring their landscapes, bird bodies and two wings (still separated) to the art teachers who will hot glue them together with a folded paper strip to make the pop-up, kinetic aspect.
Materials: Construction paper, card stock
Tools Provided by Classroom: Scissors, pencils, white glue
Vocabulary: Kinetic sculpture, Pop-up, Collage, Color Compliments, Perspective, foreground, background, bird anatomy
Additional Resource: Kinetic Sculpture
Multiple Subject Integration: Engineering, Applied Math, Design

*Please note that samples were made by teaching artists.  Students will be encouraged to make their own versions of this project. Please DO NOT show students these samples in advance of the art lesson.

Description Summary: Today students had a special art lesson making kinetic flying object pop-up collages.  They drew, cut and glued a landscape and their flying objects and then adhered them to have a kinetic movement aspect.
