Lesson Focus Creating a geometric cardboard sculpture covered with personal drawings. This activity lets children practice isolating different sections of their artwork and creating structure and sequence within a visual storyline. It also fosters spatial engineering and construction skills by allowing children to work with balance and angles to put their final piece together.

Draw and color one entire side of the piece with an inside scene of your bedroom or other inside place.
