Given: Model Magic modeling compound, florists wire (either 15″ lengths or on ball), 3/8″ x 12″ dowel rod, 4″ square wooden base, lollipop sticks and scissors.
Using only the items given, create an artist’s figurine. The figurine must be in human form when completed and the joints must be moveable so that the form can be possible when completed.
Restrictions: Each team member must contribute to some aspect of the solution. Scissors are to be used for construction purposes only. Non-verbal once construction time begins.
Judging points:
Teamwork – how strong was the team’s planning session; were the task divided evenly and amicably; were all aspects of the problem considered.
Judging Points:
Appearance of the finished figurine: How closely does it resemble the human form; are the limbs in proper proportion to each other; how finely detailed it is, i.e. hands, feet, facial futures?
Does it function? Are the joints in fact movable? Does the figurine move in natural human motion? Does it hold a pose? Is the entire structure solid?
