Paper Mache, Mid-Point! Tessa (instructing), Niah (on elephant) Evane (beside Niah)
At this point, we're about half way through our project. In the sessions to come, Tess and I will show techniques for further refining sculptural surfaces. After that, students will paint them and decorate with various materials. Stay tuned for coming developments!Paper Mache Sculpture
Art Tracks after school artists have certainly been busy in recent weeks! Tessa and I were happy to welcome both returnees and new faces this year; we have an enthusiastic, creative group here, and they've wasted no time getting down to work!
Last year, our focus was drawing and painting, and this year, we'll continue to draw and paint in a variety of media, including graphite, pastels, ink and watercolours. However, I also wondered if students might be interested in trying some sculpture as well, and when I asked if they'd like to try a paper mache project this year, and the response was a resounding "yes"! So that is how we've started, and the pictures below (partially) document the process!
