The student is assigned a project to construct animals out of multiples of objects using techniques like hot glue or wire. They are to brainstorm ideas by sketching thumbnails of animals that can be made from multiples of items like Chinese food containers, matches, or plastic cups. The constructions should be big enough but not too big to bring to school. An example project from a previous student, a spoon vase, is provided.
