In this assignment, I had my 6th and 7th graders design and create paper monster characters that can stand up on their own. We were first inspired by watching some videos of employees working at PIXAR while creating the movie Monsters University. They talked about how they drew many ideas before refining it to a finished product that appeared to screen. Students were encouraged to create as many eyes, and arms as possible to create a character that could fit into the movie. We then had to make our monsters stand up, and we learned some 3D building techniques as well. Overall, a great job Smith students!
