The Big Dipper appears to rotate around the North Star throughout the night due to Earth's rotation. Its position also changes throughout the year as Earth moves in its orbit, causing the constellation to rise and set at different times. These changes make the Big Dipper appear to shift in the sky, but its overall shape remains relatively constant.

Technically, yes. But not fast enough for the change to be noticeable in the course of a human lifetime. I've seen a drawing of what the shape of the Big Dipper will look like in 1,000 years from now. It's different, but clearly recognizable as the same Big Dipper.
