September was a busy month in the art room. Middle school and high school art students worked on oversize food themed paper mâché sculptures.
These start with a cardboard construction for boxed items and newspaper "bags" for the items that represent bags of food. All pieces are then covered in strips of newspaper and glue, then primed white, and finished in acrylic paint. This is always our longest project, as it takes the students almost 3 weeks of work with many steps and drying time in between each step.
I am so proud of my students because these turned out amazing! Check the captions under the pictures below to see if the picture is a high school or middle school sculpture. Some of my middle school created high school level work for these!
I will update the blog again soon with some of our October projects. I will have a display of all of these sculptures set up in the art room for a mini- show starting Oct 16th. Feel free to drop by and see them.
Enjoy the sculpture pics!
