| This charmer was made from an old iron waffle maker. |
My 8th grade class last semester was made up almost entirely of boys. I decided to do alot of sculpture projects with them to keep them motivated and engaged. One of their favorites was this Transformers Robot project. I went to the local good will and bought a bunch of old appliances. I set them out and let the students go through them and choose the item that caught their attention. The students worked in pairs of two and came up with some very charming robots. We used duct tape and gorilla glue to hold them together, some pieces might have used hot glue but it usually does not stick to plastic or metal. They were also using bottle caps, tin cans and other recycled objects including paint to finish off their pieces. Here are a few examples.
