Lego Set

Lego System A/S (trade name: The Lego Group) is a Danish toy production company based in Billund.^[5] It is best known for the manufacture of Lego-brand toys, consisting mostly of interlocking plastic bricks.

The history of Lego spans nearly 100 years, beginning with the creation of small wooden playthings during the early 20th century. Manufacturing of plastic Lego bricks began in Denmark in 1947, but since has grown to include factories throughout the world.

LEGO creates their sets based on themes. What will your theme be? Is it based on a book or movie you love, or something original?

How Legos are made

Project Goal:

Use Mecabricks to design and build your own themed lego set. Your set must be physically possible to build. Your designs must be sketched out. 10 of 20 points will be for sketching and planning your Lego set.

ZenTangle

Zentangles are pieces of unplanned, abstract, black and white art using many patterns to fill abstract of geometric shapes. Zentangles are not only exquisitely beautiful, they are fun and relaxing to create.

The process of creating a Zentangle is a form of “artistic meditation” as one becomes completely engrossed in making each pattern, deliberately focusing on one stroke at a time. The creativity options and pattern combinations are boundless. And anyone can do it!

The Zentangle Method “increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal well being. The Zentangle Method is enjoyed all over this world across a wide range of skills, interests and ages.”

Origami

Origami (折り紙, Japanese pronunciation: [oɾiɡami] or [oɾiꜜɡami], from ori meaning “folding”, and kami meaning “paper” (kami changes to gami due to rendaku)) is the art of paper folding, which is often associated with Japanese culture. In modern usage, the word “origami” is used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin. The goal is to transform a flat square sheet of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques.
