I chose to focus on sculpture because it is a medium that I have more recently begun using. Sculpture is very important for students to learn because it serves as a foundation to most three dimensional work. I know that as an art teacher I will need be able to teach other media than photography, my preferred medium.
I chose the main elements of sculpture for my unit goal and essential questions. These goals and questions apply to all sculptures and will help students when designing and developing sculptures in the future. The links and resources correspond specifically to large scale finished pieces, which my students would not be required to produce. Instead I would have them create 3D printed models and use them to pitch a large scale installation.
The technology I've integrated into this assignment include SketchUp, 3D printers, and WeVideo. Sketchup is a drafting and design software that can be used for something as small as a jar up to buildings and beyond. 3D printers have become more and more popular and cost effective in recent years and will be important technology for artists in the coming years. WeVideo is an online video software for integrating images and other elements with video to create complete presentations. All of these technologies are important to all artists, especially young ones to know and utilize.
