Minimalist Sculpture





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
