This teacher guide outlines a lesson plan designed for discussing and creating site-specific sculptures, focusing on both artistic processes and community engagement. The lesson spans 45-60 minutes and includes activities such as rapid prototyping, vocabulary instruction, and a critique simulation called 'Public Hearing.' Students work in small groups, named 'Design Firms,' to develop and defend their sculpture proposals tailored to specific environments like parks or subway stations. The guide emphasizes understanding different sculptural processes (additive, reductive), the importance of site-specificity, and the need for artistic justification through structured critiques. With collaborative tasks and real-world connections to public art, this resource aims to deepen students' analytical skills, technical vocabulary, and appreciation for the role of art in public spaces.
