Sculpting Small 3D Birds Part 1
Year 1 Art and Design Creating 3D Bird Bodies and Legs Using Foam Board Safely
What We'll Learn Today
Cut an egg-shaped bird body from foam board Make two legs to help our bird stand Use scissors safely and carefully Follow step-by-step instructions Make our bird stand upright on its own
Our Materials Today
Foam board rectangles Child-safe scissors Pencils for drawing shapes Templates to help us Sticky tack for joining pieces
Safety First - Scissor Rules
Hold scissors with thumb and fingers Cut away from your body Walk carefully with scissors Share tools nicely Ask for help when needed
Step 1: Drawing Our Shapes
Use the template to draw an egg shape Make it as big as your hand Draw two straight legs next to the egg Make legs thick enough to support the bird Use pencil so we can erase if needed
Step 2: Cutting Our Bird Parts
Cut slowly and carefully Follow the pencil lines Turn the foam board as you cut Take breaks if your hand gets tired Ask for help if you need it
Testing Time!
Can your bird body stand up with the legs? What happens if the legs are too thin? How can we make it more stable?
Well Done! What We Achieved
We cut egg-shaped bird bodies We made legs to help birds stand We used scissors safely We followed instructions step by step Our birds can stand up by themselves!
