Papier-mache sculptures

Students in 8th grade are asked to explore making art in 3-D instead of just flat. We discuss making plans that account for all sides, making things interesting on ALL sides and the science of building an armature (or frame) that will allow the sculpture to stand on it's own. It's problem-solving at it's finest! We've made everything from tiny little people with aluminum foil armatures to a large scale Impala structured with chicken wire.
