Aim: To use found objects to design a hanging sculpture for your sukkah or window.
Materials: Found objects (for example, fabric, bottles, bottle caps, sticks), glue, paint and yarn.
Procedure:
1. It is customary to adorn one’s sukkah with hanging fruit, posters, cards, and other decorations. You can, for example, have students design hanging sculptures using everyday materials such as fabric, bottles, paperclips.
2. Students can begin with a branch or stick and use yarn to hang various collected objects at different heights.
3. Encourage students to explore ways to transform the materials with paint or collage or by gluing them together in unusual ways.
4. Hang students’ creations in a window or in a sukkah.
