Students’ sources of inspiration for this project were the initials of their name. They combined the letters of their name into an interesting design. Students used their initials to create an interesting design that stands well on its own. Their challenge was to create a three-dimensional, in-the-round piece of artwork that could stand on multiple sides. To build up their design, students used tagboard and tape.
After they built their structure, they paper machéd the entire surface. Paper maché is a substance traditionally made of flour, water, and glue. Newspaper is dipped into this and applied to the structure to harden and strengthen the piece. Then, they used pure color and tints to paint the surface and negative spaces. Finally, they used Sharpie to incorporate line into their creations. Our lines were drawn using a special technique called zentangles, a form of sophisticated doodling that incorporate patterns and shape repetition. Zentangling is a current trend in the art world.
