Dinosaur Wire Sculptures
Today, we took our observational drawings and created wire sculptures from them. We practiced paying close attention to detail in our wire, just as we did in our drawings. The results are incredible! The conversations we had were also very neat as the kids discussed the carious body parts of the dinosaurs.
Conversation 1
What was this part for? Hmm, maybe he whacked predators with it! Regan
This part? Its his sail. I think its just to like show the predators that you have to be quiet and he shakes it and all the other dinosaurs be quiet. Sascha
If I was a T-Rex, I would be scared of it! Regan
Conversation 2
I can turn this into a big head! Its the same as the dinosaur! Ayden
I made his head big too. I made this big head and this pink stuff so he will be protected. I made twisties so he has bones. Beatrice
This will be his big crest. I think it was to bump away other predators and break their bones. Dylan
His head had like rocks on it so he could bump into other dinosaurs. Like his friends. Beatrice
They’re not rocks, just bumpy things! Dylan
Here’s his crest! Hutton
I’m trying to make his body just like my picture! Jackson
