Art
- The Seventh-grade child learned about shapes and forms through building lego vehicles. They had to consider the different pieces and how they fit together to create the desired shape.
- They also explored color and design as they chose specific lego pieces to create different vehicle features and details.
- This activity encouraged the child to think creatively and use their imagination to come up with unique and original designs for their lego vehicles.
- Additionally, the child developed spatial awareness and hand-eye coordination as they manipulated and assembled the lego pieces to build their vehicles.
For continued development, the child could experiment with different building techniques and styles to create even more intricate and complex lego vehicles. They could also try incorporating other materials such as cardboard or paper to add additional elements to their designs.
