3Activity: 3D Form Exploration (18 min)
discussion

Students will examine objects from multiple perspectives, understanding spatial relationships

📝 Instructions:
  1. Select 3-5 objects with interesting shapes
  2. Rotate each object and describe what you see
  3. Sketch the object from different angles
  4. Discuss how perspective changes the view
🔄 Variations:

Simpler: Use basic geometric shapes like cubes and spheres

Challenge: Create a quick sketch series showing object from multiple viewpoints

4Closing (7 min)

Reflect on how God creates with incredible dimensional complexity

📝 Review Questions:
