4th Grade- 3-D Houses

To begin this lesson we talked about relief sculptures since this project is a relief sculpture because the back is flat. We then too a 9 x 12" white paper and began the process for folding the house. I found a great tutorial for this on http://elementaryartfun.blogspot.com/2009/11/spooky-houses.html

After we are finished cutting and folding, students decorate their houses using crayons and markers. This allows the houses to fold up easily for easy storage.

On day 2 we whipped  out the construction paper. We first add a piece of paper to the back for support, this is also the color inside of the houses. Then We add details such as fences, roofs, etc. with construction paper. I talk about adding tabs to make the construction paper stand up.
