Fantasy House Model — Grade 3

Make a whimsical miniature house with towers, stairs, windows, and story details supported by gesture studies, a material test, and a visible revision. Use the example for ideas, but choose your own subject, colors, arrangement, and details.

Study the example for possibilities, then close or cover it. Your work should make different choices.

What to do

  1. Make your own version of “Fantasy House Model”. Keep the subject in the title, but invent the design and story details.
  2. Your core skill today: Test a small model and revise a weak connection or unclear arrangement.
  3. Draw the character or setting from the front. Circle the three largest parts and name the material needed for each.
  4. Build a cardboard base, then attach the largest upright pieces using folded tabs and tape. Test that it stands before adding small details.
  5. Add one face, costume, object, or setting clue that tells a viewer who lives in this story world.
  6. Check joins from every side. Repair loose parts, then photograph the model as a still scene. A model is anime-inspired design, not animation until frames are recorded.
  7. Name one change that made the result clearer. Label or dictate your name and title, share the work, and clean the tools.
