SCULPTURE WITH PAPER (grades K-12)

This residency introduces the student to paper as a sculptural form, able to be manipulated to create functional and aesthetic three-dimensional objects. Through folding, curling, bending and scoring, students create chairs, tables, buildings, faces, flowers and abstracts. Using a variety of techniques for building and joining, the class creates low-rise and high-relief sculpture as well as sculpture-in-the-round. The curriculum include a review of the history of paper,  how this sculptural format was employed by artists and artisans of various cultures and how paper sculpting  has evolved to the present day.
