Our lesson on Minimalist Sculpture led me to a lesson I found online...
Art Teacher Blog- The Adventures of a Melbourne Art Teacher
Students were shown sculpture from artist, Tony Smith. Their design was to incorporate the appearance of a circle, square and triangle and to add a shape in their shape.
I enjoyed (maybe my students didn't :) ) watching them problem solve. I showed students visuals of an example I had last year that is shown at the bottom.

Paper Mache time! finding the balance between not enough paper mache glue and too much :).
Note: I use paper mache powder. All you have to do is add water and wait 5 minutes. I tried old fashion recipe but our humidity gave us mold even when I added more salt. The smell was horrendous :p
