Inflatable Sculpture

Students will work in a group to create a large inflatable sculpture.

This unit has four parts: prototype (individual), voting (as a class), planning & sculpting (in two large groups), and documenting.

Order of Work

Prototype
  • Draw your design in two views (side and front/top)
  • Create a 3D model of your design with graph paper, scissors, and rubber cement
  • Take a photo of your model and turn it in
Voting
  • Look at all of the options and vote for the one you think will work out best
  • As a class we will choose the top two designs to create.

Group Sculpting
  • In your assigned group, you will need to plan out all of the pieces for the project.
  • Draw all of the flat shapes on the plastic - solid lines for joining, dashed lines for cutting (3 inches away from solid line)
  • Cut your shapes (scissors)
  • Attach them together (wax paper, plastic bottom side, plastic top side, wax paper, soldering iron)
  • Turn them inside out, so the joined material is on the inside
  • Make a tube attachment for the box fan
  • Test it out
