What this session explored: Designing and making with limited resources … and how to make the most of them.
Working with outdoor arts experts Walk the Plank, this session supported educators to make small 3D objects out of everyday materials such as cardboard which can then be scaled up and joined together to make a bigger collective piece. The technique and activity can be delivered in the classroom over a number of weeks or more intensively e.g. in an arts week or similar.
