In Mexico , artist use bold pattern and designs to create imaginary creatures called ALEBRIJES. In this art project we will be creating sculptures of ALEBIJES.

Step 1. SHAPE SKETCH

Map out your sculpture

Before building a sculpture, artist plan and sketch their idea into simple shapes. Today you will..

1. Post your image to seesaw

2. Use the shape tool to simplify your object into shapes

3. IF YOU DO NOT FINISH SAVE AS A DRAFT!

4. Post your work

We will use these Shape sketches next week when beginning to build our sculptures.

Expressive Animals Sculpted From Aluminum FoilThese little aluminum foil animals are so endearing to me. Nowadays, if you decide to take your leftovers home from a restaurant, they most likely get packed up in a small to-go container. Twenty years ago it was very different though. Back then, where I lived, the servers at the restaurants would put the leftovers in a piece of tin foil, and then fold the tin foil so it looked like a swan or some other animal. When I was a little girl, I used to look forward to that each time my family went out to dinner. Have you

Step 2. Create your ARMATURE

An Armature is the base of your sculpture. It helps the sculpture stand up. We will be using wire foil to build our armatures

Step 3: Adding the plaster

Step:4 Painting the base colors

Step 5. Coloring the patterns
