(3) K-3 Three mice visit a museum and observe various sculptures, appreciating shape, arrangement, dimensionality, and texture. Some sculptural terminology is introduced, and real works of art are examined--in particular, English sculptor Barbara Hepworth's Four Rectangles with Four Oblique Circles. The mice observe, sketch, and create shapes on their own. Instructions for creating paper shape sculptures and information about the featured pieces are appended.
