Stills of Alexander Calder's Circus

Together the class will make a miniature working circus. Students will work in pairs to make miniature circus acts. You will perform your act on critique day. You may use any materials that you think are appropriate for your idea. We will set up on a table in front of the crit wall, so scale your pieces accordingly (3' x 3' x 3' max). Describe your act in the comments section, and make sure not to do something someone has already signed up for.

Teachers will provide circus music. If you want to play specific music, bring it to class by April 13.

***Your entire act should fit in a 3'x3'x3' area***
