Frank Stella Inspired 3-d Paper Sculptures
One of the third quarter curriculum requirements for 3rd grade is sculpture. I choose to have the students complete a paper sculpture inspired by great American artist Frank Stella. I also combined the lesson with Zentangle drawing. First I had the students draw organic shapes, and fill those organic shapes with zentangle patterns before cutting out the pieces. Once the pieces are cut, I have the students use a hot glue gun to glue down the pieces while twisting, bending, and folding them finally adhering them to a piece of matt board. I was fortunate to have a TON of matt board donated to me a few years back... Also the paper that I had the students use is cardstock, not just regular paper. Here is the link to the orignal lesson that I found. http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/elem/Julie-design.htm

These are beautiful!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe key is to give them a SMALL piece of matt board, that way they are forced to compact their pieces. Last year I did something similar where they had an entire 9x12 sheet of cardstock to tape too and their pieces were way too spread out!
ReplyDeleteAND thank you Ted!
These are really fabulous! You didn't let third graders use hot glue guns, did you? You are brave!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not I did. I only set out two low-temp glue guns, and I sit at a 'reading table' for my desk and sat right with them and they were really good about it!
ReplyDeleteI love this, Rachel. So stealing this idea! Thank you for sharing!
