Class Description:
Have you ever lost something special or maybe something special has lost its use? Your best winter hat? Your favorite VHS tape? We’re going to reference our own mental images of our remembered objects as we recreate them in paper mache.
This will be fun and fairly easy for all skill levels, with a few challenging moments. Ages 5-105 would be able to handle this medium.
Students will sculpt a generalized form in 3 dimensions. They will mix color using acrylic paint and use 2-D color, line and shape to define and characterize the generalized 3-D form.
Students will gain a sculpture that stands in for a lost object.
