In the Art Room - 3D Letters
I've been pushing myself to create more 3D art projects this year. My 8th graders have spent the last 6 weeks working on these letters and they are wonderful! I encouraged them to design around the entire letter to entice the viewer to observe from all sides. I used papier-mache tape for the first time - it's like wallpaper where you have the gluey side and the non-gluey side. It worked great and there was a lot less clean up afterwards!

These are fantastic! Did students construct these out of cardboard and tape? How tall are they?
ReplyDeleteI love the creative possibilities with this project- thanks for sharing!
They used two pieces of 9 x 12 newsboard, little takeout condiment cups, clear packing tape, and they covered it all with the papier mache tape.
