Assemblage sculpture
Another type pf sculpture we learned about was Assemblage sculpture which is made by assembling different elements together, often everyday objects found by the artist or bought especially. We decided to go scavenge in our house and see what bits and bobs we could find to make some art with!

Giacometti inspired sculpture

I'm always on the lookout for building kits & STEM kits that will enhance what we are learning about. I came across these three kits that we ended up getting which were such a great addition to our learning. Both of my kids loved them and worked on them together.
Making An Articulated Grabber
To continue with our simple machine topic, today we made this super simple Articulated Grabber to demonstrate another kind of lever. This was such an easy project to do and Forrest really loved putting it together and he especially loved playing with it after.
