Discuss the idea that a person is a three dimensional form. Can we walk around this sculpture? What other three dimensional objects can the children find in their classroom?</p><p>Focus Looking at Bottle Cap Giraffe, ask students to describe the form. What would it look like from the other side?</p><p>Develop Ask students to tell you the names of some animals they like. Show them a cardboard tube. What part of the animal’s body does it resemble? Show students how to cover the tube with foil and add legs. Students can cut heads from paper and add yarn tails or manes. They can draw faces with markers or glue on found objects when available.</p><p>Evaluation What is the name of your animal? What else could you add to it?</p><p>Summary A sculpture is a three dimensional form that takes up space. We can walk around it.</p><p>Journal writing prompt Visualize a habitat for your animal.
