Foundations: STEM + Arts Skills for Learning 3D Design
Discovery
Using power of observation and patterns in nature, LARK Learning makers discover as they build - and test - how their original piece works in a proposed environment. Nature, light and motion are all important factors in Lark Learning at home via Zoom or outdoors in yard, park or trail.
Exploration
Studying classic prototypes such as Davinci's 'Rotor Copter' without grading or restricting materials, LARK Learning makers focus on the hows and whys of their models, and brainstorm uses as they record in their own way what works and doesn't work. History of a design, environment it is used in, its purpose, and experimenting with how parts move and how materials function are all part of the fun. Recycled materials, 3d prints, various kinds of crafts, wood, foam core, card stock, LED lights, foil, wax paper, cardboard, pipecleaner, markers of all kinds encouraged.
Hands on Learning Skills
Designing and building for the best purpose and results require testing and tweaking original work to produce positive results, and sometimes happy discoveries are made along the way. Whether designing 3d models on the computer screen or interpreting shapes and movement from sketches or interactive parts - for any age it's the power of observation, and ability to bring one's own originality to an object of 3D output that makes it an object of art.
