Art 3: Paper Sculpture Challenge
Picture
While we normally think about paper as something to draw or paint on, the versatility of this medium makes an easy way to create in 3-D also!  Choose from the following options to create your own Paper Sculpture.

1. LIGHTED PAPER SCULPTURE
Using card stock, drawing paper, and/or tissue paper, design and create a lighted paper sculpture.
Think about the materials you will use to support your sculpture (wood, metal, cardboard, paper, etc..) and make sure those structures are covered so that all that is seen is the paper.
Do research and  create planning sketches before you begin, taking into account how the  light will hit your piece (test this out as you build it.)  You may use any kind of lighting that you can get your hands on, but small LED flashlights or strings of lights work very well because they are especially bright.
The design options are open, but here are some ideas to get you started. (If you find any good links in your research, please share them with me.)

Backlit Canvas Art   
**(Please note: this artist used traced flowers, but you will be drawing any of your subject matter yourself.)
And a little inspiration from an Art Teacher Challenge:

2. NEWSPAPER SCULPTURE
Check out the links below and google “newspaper sculpture."
 
After researching, design your project from there (be inspired, but don’t copy.) Your sculpture can be objective or non-objective, relief or 3D in the round.

Show me your sketches and then you can begin.

STUDENT EXAMPLES: 

​Blog Post:
1) There are a lot of options to choose from in this project.  For you - what was the key thing you needed to keep in mind when creating your sculpture?
2) Explain the process of creating your sculpture, for example: what did you find challenging, what was fun, what was successful, what would you do differently next time? What grade would you give yourself?
