Teacher Preparation
- Materials should be available in ample quantity
- This project requires considerable storage space
- Adequate ventilation and air circulation is necessary for the projects to air dry.
Procedure
- Direct students to
- imagine their drawing in three dimensions.
- create detailed illustrations of the selected subject from multiple viewpoints.
- annotate the drawings to include all pertinent information required to fully explain their concept.
- challenge themselves to think about possible sources for armatures. Paper and/or cardboard tubes, wire, wire mesh screen, and found objects are all suitable armatures.
- construct the armature on a suitable base. Anchor all armature components well. Wrap the armature with paper or other suitable material to pad it before applying the first layer of papier mâché.
- apply alternating black and white newsprint layers with comics.
- test for hardness. When a sufficient number of layers of papier mâché has been applied to maintain a stable form, set the sculpture aside to ensure complete dryness before finishing.
- paint the completed forms with acrylic paint. Seal the painted forms with either a matte or gloss acrylic finish.
