Description: We started the activity by looking at different 3D artists. We then picked out different objects that we had to include in our background. After choosing our objects, we then brainstormed as a group. My group got a cat, car and snow to include in our 3D background. We then folded our background and cut the slits to glue our objects on. We colored the snow on the background and then drew out the cat and car. We also included a stop sign in one of our folding designs. We cut out of car, cat and stop sign and then glued them on the pop outs. Extension Activity: An extension activity could be writing a paragraph about each object and design after completing the activity. This paragraph could be attached to the bottom of the students design.
