3. Cover each created shape with a different Metallic Paper; glue each paper shape on to the back of each of the three panels.

4. Glue one piece of Metallic Paper to cover the entire back of each panel.

5. Decorate the front of each panel with a marker and Sequins.

6. Use a low Melt Glue Gun to glue the three panels together in a triangular shape that stands alone.

Extension Ideas

Use the Internet to research the story of Federation Square and debate whether the six-year project has been worthwhile. Look at this contemporary architecture and discuss the elements of art that make up the structure.
