Sculpture One

Scored Paper Relief

Students will use card stock paper to create a design or image in low relief. Relief will be demonstrated by scoring, folding, and securing the paper. Hot glue may be used in the back side of the crease, this will help hold the shape. Images and designs may be abstract or representational with or without a background. In addition to scoring many techniques used in previous assignments may also be used. for example pinking shears, tearing, folding, and cut outs on the fold may add interest and detail to the piece.

Sculpture Two

Students have been working on several different pieces including a Mobile/mandala, solder wire, and cardboard. These assignments must be completed before moving on to the next new assignment which will begin this week.
Fantasy Animal
Students will develop a fantasy animal by combining features of several different animals. Other sources of examples may be mythical animals such as a Griffin or Unicorn. The piece should be kept small in scale something that may be easily held in your hands.
Students will use the same basic techniques that were used in the bust project. The armature will be formed from aluminum foil and masking tape. The armatures will then be covered in paper mache clay and then painted and detailed.



Sculpture Three

Most students have completed the foam sculpture and are now working in stain glass.
Ballon Form
Students will cover a balloon with multiple layers of paper until the form is firm enough to hold its shape. The object of the lesson is to use the curved form of the balloon cut into sections or pieces. The object should be created by using the balloon but not let the shape of the balloon be apparent in the finished piece.
