Eye Popping into "Who Ville"


   For this lesson we were inspired by Dr. Seuss! In Dr. Seuss' books, his illustrations are curvy, straight, bendy, swirly, jagged, and loopy all on one page. We created our own "villes" that resemble something that could be in Dr. Seuss' books. The first step was to back the white piece of paper because once the gluing process starts it would be hard to do so. We then reviewed various bends and folds of construction paper and reviewed how to glue them to a sheet of paper. We were instructed to have three different folds and at least seven pieces of paper in our assigned colors (warm, cool, or complimentary.)  I did a complimentary colored 3-D design entitled "Christmas Gone Wrong!" An extension activity would be to continue to make up a town. Write about who lives in this town, what  stores are located there, and how they town came about. This could incorporate many different curriculum areas such as math and history.
