I meant to post this in June amidst all the craziness of the end of the school year, and here we are in August where I'm getting ready to start it all up again.
I wanted to show examples from my final project in Art 1. We ended the class with a sculpture unit and after most of the year working in two dimensions, this was a challenging and exciting change.
Students created 3 dimensional objects using card board and hot glue. Some decided to paint them, others left them plain. We explored the many ways that cardboard can be used to build up a structure and create texture. I made a sculpture chicken out of cardboard as an example which I took photos of along every step of its creation so they could see me using an armature and building the structure around it by scoring the cardboard, using notches and creating a feathered texture with the inner, corrugated section of the cardboard.
I asked students to create a representational sculpture using cardboard that was viewable from all sides. I was so excited to see how many different ideas and projects they came up with!
