This is an art class that will also include quite a bit of engineering. By using cardboard to create, we re-purpose materials that would otherwise go to waste. Its accessibility means that we can create works of art and all sorts of contraptions, games, costumes, and whatever our imagination can come up with with materials that are readily available and free. So many things we purchase arrive or are packaged in this versatile material. Using this as our medium is not only environmentally conscious but also challenges us to think outside the box. Students will practice measurement and learn construction techniques that they will use to express themselves through the humble medium of cardboard.
