Teacher Resource: Lesson Plan
Walk A Mile:
This project was developed in conjunction with the Ahimsa Institute on Non Violence as a way to develop students' empathy, to study the work and life of Gandhi, to create performative sculpture, and for students to understand how to construct objects in 3 dimensions. Students were tasked with developing a pair of shoes using only recycled materials. Additionally they were given a deeper learning opportunity to create a wearable pair of shoes for another person. This project was also the recipient of a FIDM grant in order to help with materials costs and display.
