Introduce your student to the fascinating world of three-dimensional art with Sculpture Technique: Construct. Designed for upper-elementary and high school students, this unique curriculum goes beyond simple craft projects to provide a solid foundation in the principles of sculpture. It's the first book of its kind to bring the exciting processes of "construction" sculpture into the home or classroom environment. This book focuses on building and joining materials to create art, with engaging projects using everyday and accessible media like papermaking, papier-mâché, cardboard, and wire. Students will not only learn the technical skills to work with these materials but also gain a deep understanding of the fundamental elements of sculpture, such as form, space, and volume. Each lesson is carefully crafted to be student-led, empowering young artists to work independently. The conversational tone and step-by-step, fully illustrated instructions make complex techniques easy to grasp. Students are encouraged to use their own ideas and interests to create original, personal works of art. The book also includes a thoughtful self-evaluation section for each project, helping students reflect on their creative choices and artistic growth.
