1 Art and Culture Center of Hollywood Distance Learning Integrated Art Lesson Title: Description and Overall Focus: Length of Lesson Grade Range Sunshine State Standards and National Art Standards Objective(s) Materials: PLEASE NOTE: Some materials must be acquired prior to this lesson Introductory activity Core activity Closure activity Assessment 3-D Kinetic Sculpture: Creating an Original Pop-Up This project will allow students to learn how to create a volumetric and kinetic sculpture from flat media. 45 minutes 1 hour High School (See below) Students will learn about the art of Robert Sabuda, the worldrenowned author, collàge and pop-up sculpture artist from Michigan. Students then will learn how to use paper cutting techniques to create a 3-D pop-up sculpture. The student will have used the concept of the x, y and z axes of the Cartesian coordinate system to create a visual art piece that has volume, but can collapse back into a flat state. Teacher Provided Handout Templates: base printed on white card stock pieces - one set per 3-5 students Student Supplies: 8 ½ 11 sheets of colored card stock - for tracing the butterfly wing pieces Drawing pencil and eraser Ruler Scissors Students will begin by learning about a brief history of the origins of the pop-up. Students will then learn about the art of Robert Sabuda and its relationship to Kinetic Sculpture. Students will be shown some examples of his most famous work. Students will also learn about methods which the artist uses to create a 3-D moving sculpture from a 2-D medium. This will be accomplished through cutting techniques and the consideration of the Cartesian x, y, z axes to produce volume. Students will begin by cutting out their base pieces. Then they will continue by tracing and cutting-out their wing pieces on colored card stock. The pop-up will then be built in stages. Students will complete their creations making sure that the sculptural components are secured and moving properly. Several students will then share their completed pictures with the rest of their classmates. Students will have learned about the history of pop-up and works of art by Robert Sabuda. They will also have learned how cutting and folding techniques in conjunction with the Cartesian x, y, z axes create volumetric form.

2 Teacher follow-up idea Student follow-up idea Cooking Lesson Book/Web references The classroom teacher can use the websites below to present more of the information surrounding the artistic world of popup sculptural art. Students can continue to create progressively sophisticated pop-ups based on Robert Sabuda s work, the work of Paul Johnson (book artist and paper engineer ) and Carol Barton (artist, teacher and curator). They may also try to paint or handcolor the components before building their kinetic pop-up sculptures.

3 Robert Sabuda The audience for early movable books was adults, not children. It is believed that the first use of movable mechanics appeared in a manuscript for an astrological book in The Catalan mystic and poet Ramon Llull, of Majorca, used a revolving disc or volvelle to illustrate his theories. Some say the first was made by a Benedictine monk, Matthew Paris, to calculate the dates of Christian holidays. Throughout history, pop-ups or moveable pages appeared, usually as learning tools. In the 1800s they became widely used for children s entertainment. The 1960s showed a resurgence when American entrepreneur Waldo Hunt came upon the pop-up books of Vojtech Kubašta of Prague, Czechoslovakia. Eventually this discovery produced many of the pop-ups considered classics today. Sabuda continued to pursue art in middle and high school and at the Pratt Institute in New York City, where he received a scholarship to study art. In 1992, he started writing his own books, concentrating on biographies or nonfiction and illustrating them in the style of the period about which he was writing. For instance, his book on the Middle Ages looks like stained glass, and his book on ancient Egypt is done in the style of Egyptian art. Robert Sabuda was born in 1965, and was raised in Pinckney, Michigan, a small town surrounded by lakes. When he was young, Sabuda spent hours cutting, gluing, coloring, drawing and painting. He contributes his artistic ability to his father and mother: a carpenter and a dancer. He began pop-ups using manila file folders from his mom s work. In 1994, he began producing the books we see today, from the elegant rewriting of the Wizard of Oz to his books for the holiday season, including counting books, The 12 Days of Christmas, and his newest, Twas the Night Before Christmas. Sabuda says that he spends half his time creating picture books and the other half concentrating on pop-up books.

4 Pop-up Butterfly Templates: Print the images below to create cardstock templates of the background (on white) and pieces (to be traced onto color) needed to create the pop-up butterfly. Enlarge the image on the photocopier until the rectangle is roughly 7 x3½.

Heat the oven to 400 F 2. Unfold each pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. 3. Cut the sheet into 3 strips along the fold marks. Cut each strip into 6 rectangles. 4. Place the pastries 2 inches apart on 2 baking sheets. 5. Bake the pastries for 15 minutes or until they're golden brown. Remove the pastries from the baking sheets and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. 6. Put the cream in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer set on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold in the melted chocolate pieces. (Reserve a bit of the chocolate for topping after assembly.) 7. Split each pastry into 2 layers, making 36 pieces. Spread or pipe 18 bottom halves with the chocolate cream mixture. Top with the remaining [top] halves. Drizzle or spread remaining chocolate on top. Dust with confectioner s sugar. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. ENJOY!
