In this Visual Arts workshop students will learn how to use paper mache to recreate a real world object of their choice. They will learn every step of the paper mache process starting with observational drawings from different angles of found objects. They will then begin constructing the armature of their objects using newspaper, bristol board, and / or cardboard. Students will then begin coating the sculptures in multiple layers of newspaper and paper mache glue to create a strong form and add detail. Sculptures can be finished with joint compound to create smooth surfaces wherever necessary. The final step will be painting the surface with acrylic paint. We will end the workshop with a group discussion about all of the sculptures. For 9-12th Graders.
