3D Art

3D art is what I am drawn to as a professional artist. In my BA of fine arts I registered for every class that had to do with sculpting, wheel throwing, 3D printing, welding and more. Some brains work harder in a 3 dimensional setting, and I push people to work outside of their comfort zone, challenge their visual imagination and create something with dimension that TAKES UP SPACE!

Cairns

Students traveled to the Animas river and collected rocks to glue together and paint as thier own Cairn sculptures.

Origami Symmetry

This is such a popular project with older kids. They love the act of folding and it's meditative qualities, as well as utilizing lines of symmetry to form a puzzle of their own with a 3D outcome.

Sewn Fish Pillow

This was a great one for students to take the skills and technique home to begin the awesome hobby of sewing. Students used paper to make a 3D fish pillow of their own.

Natural Found Object Collab.

Students went on an excursion to collect natural things that had fallen from trees or washed up on shores (plants that were not alive). They organized and glued their pieces onto a canvas and painted them using color and pattern. After all projects were finished, we brought them together on a black backboard and hung it permanently in our school hallway!

Paper Mache Helmets, Skeletons, and more!

Paper Mache is so much fun. We have made imaginary masks influenced by past cultures and their uses. As well as Día De Los Muertos sugar skulls. All age groups thrive with this wonderful art making process.
