Paper Sculpture

Supplies:

Poster board

white printer paper

Scissors

 

For this project students will create a paper relief sculpture. In this process students will explore ways to create paper shapes that will to stand out or project from the background. Students can only use one shape but in 3 or more different sizes to create several levels (high relief + deep or almost in the round or low relief  – shallow or anywhere in between)

Students will experiment and create forms out of basic paper shapes by rolling, bending, folding and hot gluing them. After trying a variety of forms, students chose their favorite and created sixty variations of that form. Students then considered space and balance to position their forms into their final sculptural arrangement.
