Project Description
Goals
In this 16 minute virtual workshop, kids will learn to use paper mache, along with reusable objects, to make one of a kind creatures/objects. This activity specifically stresses using commonly accessible materials most people have in their homes like flour, newspaper, leftover cardboard, tape, aluminum foil, etc. The workshop also functions as a beginner’s intro to some of the foundational ideas of sculptural art, particularly looking past an object’s basic appearance or function to create something new. Participants will need a workspace where they can get a little bit messy.
