3D Art is the study and creation of art that has form, meaning it takes up space as opposed to being flat on a wall. Another term for 3D Art is sculpture. In this course, students will explore ceramics, sculpture, book arts, batik, collage, and recycled art. This page shows examples of finished projects, as well as the design process and reflection writing.

Elements of Art Cube
Elements of Art Cube
The Elements of Art are the building blocks of any artwork. As an artist, you should understand and be able to demonstrate each element. For this project, you will illustrate each element on a side of the cube template. Once complete, you will cut out, fold and build your cube. Your cube will serve as a visual reference for the Elements of Art!
Principles of Design Hexagon
Principles of Design Hexagon
The Principles of Design are a set of rules that artists can follow when creating a composition to create visually pleasing work. In this project, you defined and illustrated the concepts relating to the Principles of Design.. Using the hexagonal prism template, draw an example of a Principle on each side. Cut out and build the hexagon into a 3D form. Your hexagon will serve as a visual reference for the Principles of Design!

CLAY HOUSE
CLAY HOUSE
Students used the creative process to design and construct a clay house. The clay house was created with various slab handbuilding methods depending on the style of house they designed. Options will include a realistic house, surreal or whimsical house, or a fairy house. The house may have a removable lid and will be sculpted in low relief detail and painted with glaze. The creative process will include research, sketching, planning and making a template prior to beginning clay construction.
Reflection:
What is the theme or style of your house?
What clay techniques did you learn?
What was your biggest challenge?

Description
Description
One of the definitions of the word “architecture” is “the art and action of building or constructing.” In this lesson plan, students design and construct a 3- dimensional letter using one of their initials. The surface will be decorated in the style of an art movement or specific artwork. Through this experience, students will explore how an art style is made and begin to make connections between famous artworks and their own personal style.

Pop Art, specifically the work of Roy Lichtenstein, was the inspiration for my letter illustration. Pop Art is based on modern popular culture and mass media, featuring images that relate to advertising and everyday products. The style of my painting is a comic book illustration, which shows the Benday dots produced in the newspaper color printing process. The biggest challenge was painting with neatness and smooth brushstrokes using the water-based tempera paint. The paint allowed a matte finish to imitate a comic strip in a newspaper. I feel this project was successful because craftsmanship and quality of the letter construction and painting is strong and it is an accurate representation of Lichtenstein's Pop Art style.
BATIK
BATIK
Students created a pattern design and color scheme for a Batik on fabric. The art of decorating cloth using wax and dye, batik has been practiced for centuries in many parts of the world including China, Japan, India, South America and Europe. The word batik originates from the Javanese word “ which means to dot. Batik is both a verb (to batik) and a noun (a batik – an object made by batiking!). Batik is usually made on a fabric surface.

COIL POT
COIL POT
Coiling is a very basic clay technique that can be used to make very simple pots to elaborate sculptural forms. Coiled pots are constructed by gradually stacking and joining coils of clay one on top of the other. The coils can be left visible or can be smoothed away depending on your desired aesthetic end result. It is important that the coils join well during construction to avoid cracking or separation during the drying and firing process.
In this unit, students created a unique ceramic pot using coil techniques which included three shape changes. Students glazed their coil pot using a color scheme of their choosing. Students reflected on their finished work.

Positive Messages
Positive Messages
Using inspiration from social movements and street artists, you will identify messages, affirmations, and quotes that promote positivity. Through multiple media forms, you will create text based artworks to be shared with the school and Cherry Hill community. The options for techniques include: Ransom Note paper cutout collage, Ransomizer website, and Sumopaint (or other digital painting program). My message promote the idea of unity and equality.
