When the content area vocabulary strips were completed (LINK) WPU Art PIR Triada Samaras worked with both students and teachers creating the art installation. A framework for the piece emerged naturally as work on this art project began. Students decided that each of the content areas in the acronym "STEAM": Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math would be represented by an allegorical figure made of the vocabulary strips. Some of the original science display items (e.g. the large, anatomical figures and some of the smaller body pieces) were retained for the art installation and provided the overall brainstorming framework for the piece. Students decided each STEAM subject would have its own sculpture.
In addition, students in Mrs. Simon's art classes created small, individual sculptures which were added to the left and right sides of the display case. Below is the installation piece in progress in still images as well as a slide show (following). Each of the disciplines of the word STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Math and Art) can now be seen here as allegorical figures using the vocabulary words taken from each content area, making the subjects more human.
Here students piece together the small vocabulary strips into one long strip. For the most part they sorted the vocabulary strips by subject matter with the intent to create each allegorical figure with words from the same content area. Below students find a way to work three dimensionally with the materials.
