Figures In Action - A Freestanding Sculpture

Videos of break dancers and sporting events and ballet rehearsals gave us practice with gesture drawings. Bent hangers cured in plaster-filled cans. Proportional bodies were built using newspaper, tape, and plaster gauze. A final coat of runny plaster put the finishing texture on the figure before applying a metallic acrylic paint.

Minimalist Cardboard Freestanding Sculptures

The idea for this introductory Sculpture project came from an art teacher blog I found on Pinterest. Check out this amazing lesson here!   

My class was videotaped by Mr. Silva, a math teacher at our school, during this unit. Meet me and meet my students. Check out the video!

Mobiles

*Art One*

Students created mobiles using wire, paper mâché, tissue paper, and cardboard. We viewed two separate image slideshow of mobiles I found on Pinterest.
