Large-Scale Cardboard SculpturesThis assignment is based on the works of Claes Oldenburg. Students choose a hand-held inanimate object no larger than a baseball and follow a design process to construct a large-scale proportionate piece measuring at least three feet in one direction.
This is an end-of-the-year project and is a comprehensive application of most Art I concepts learned throughout the year. Assignment Resources

STEM
Students use math and engineering skills to construct a large-scale proportionate sculpture using only paper (or paper-like products,) cardboard, white glue and masking tape, which must be hidden. |
