Create a 3D Five-Pointed Star Mobile: Hopes and Dreams

In this fun and creative project, we'll design a captivating 3D five-pointed star mobile that represents our hopes and dreams. Start by tracing star templates on cardstock and be sure to vary the sizes for visual interest. Add dimension with intersecting lines, score your stars as needed, and then cut them out. Personalize each star with unique designs that reflect your personality. This activity encourages creativity and self-expression, culminating in a beautiful display. Join us in the Art Room to brainstorm and create a grading rubric for exemplary designs!

  1. Project: 3D Five-Pointed Star Mobile …Hopes and Dreams

  2. Examples:

  3. For our projects, we will be using a five-pointed star design.

  4. 3-D Five-pointed Star

  5. Step 1: Trace Star Template

  6. Trace outline of stars on cardstock or regular paper. Trace a minimum of five stars and a maximum of ten stars. Note: Your mobile will look more interesting if you vary the sizes of your stars.

  7. Step 2: Add 3-D Lines Using a ruler and pen or pencil, draw a line from each of the star’s tips to the inner points Each line should intersect through the centre of the star Follow the red lines in this image as a guide

  8. (For the Mathematicians…)

  9. Step 3: Score Inner Lines of Star

  10. To “score” cardstock…. • Place ruler alongside line to score • Using the ruler’s edge as a “guide”, press firmly into paper while sliding scissor-blade along line • Note: • You do not need to score inner lines of stars if you are using standard weight paper for your design. Students using regular paper can skip this step.

  11. Step 4: Cut out stars…

  12. Step 5: Personalize Stars

  13. Use lines and shapes to create designs that are unique and represent you. Think about your favorite colours or patterns; do you like swirling, circular shapes, or sharp, jagged lines? Try using a hole-punch on cardstock or small cuts along inner folds of paper stars to create a “snowflake” effect. Be creative! Take your time. Have fun.

  14. Before we begin: How do we “assess” this project? What is an “exemplary” design? How will you grade yourself? What criteria will we use?

  15. Note: We will continue to work on our star mobile designs until they are complete. Please meet in the Art Room next class, and come with your ideas for building our class “grading rubric” for this project. We will take the first fifteen minutes of class to decide the criteria for an “exemplary” mobile design.
