Cardboard Sculptures (1): Textured, Detailed, Well Crafted Materials Needed:  Corrugated Cardboard  Other materials as you find appropriate  Cutting utensils – box cutter, x-acto knife and blades,  Writing/Drawing utensils – pencils, straight edges to help draw and cut straight lines  Measuring utensils – rulers, measuring tape, etc..  Adhesive – hot glue gun and glue stick may work best.  Masking tape to put your name on your project.  Additional tools per each individual may be required. Objective: Create an interesting, coherent, forceful three dimensional sculpture using cardboard as the primary material. Consider the 'form' and 'material' qualities of a supporting element such as a clothespin, a flat wooden strip, and a brass fastener.

 Use the elements of shape, form and space to design and construct a 3-dimensional sculpture using corrugated cardboard shapes.  Understand and employ the safety rules appropriate to using cutting utensils and other tools.  Look at samples from internet link(s) and discuss what makes those sculptures interesting. Time Allowance: 2 class sessions. Description: Design and produce a 3-dimensional corrugated cardboard three dimensional sculpture of an animal or person, building, abstract form, etc. using the elements of shape, form, and space. The overall size of the sculpture should be roughly 16" wide x 16" deep x 24 long". There should be a good amount of 'detail' in this piece. Many individual pieces of cardboard should be used to create a highly textured, visually interesting three dimensional object. This piece needs to be 'substantial', fairly 'big', with detailed aspects. It needs to be very well crafted.

As a preliminary assignment, in your sketch book, do line five (5) drawings of a still life and/or a portrait using the same simple geometric shape(s), but varying size. Drawing is an effective way to 'test' your idea about the sculpture without having to actually make it in its 3-d form. Due: 11:45 Tuesday, February 7.

Evaluation criteria include, but are not limited to, the following:
