3D Art
As a professional artist, I am particularly drawn to 3D art. During my Bachelor of Fine Arts program, I eagerly enrolled in every class related to sculpting, wheel throwing, 3D printing, welding, and more. I believe that some minds thrive in a three-dimensional environment, and I encourage my students to step outside their comfort zones. By challenging their visual imagination, I inspire them to create works that possess dimension and truly occupy space!
01
Cairns
Students embarked on an artistic journey to the Animas River, where they gathered a variety of rocks, each with its own texture and character. After selecting their stones, they thoughtfully assembled them into unique cairn sculptures, exploring principles of balance and composition.

Pablo Picasso Masks
This engaging project invites students to explore the world of shapes through the lens of Pablo Picasso’s distinctive style, fostering both creativity and critical thinking. As they study various geometric and organic shapes, students will gain insight into how Picasso deconstructed and redefined forms in his artwork. Using cardboard as their primary medium, they will meticulously cut and assemble pieces to create their own unique masks, allowing for personal expression and experimentation with dimensions.

Paper Plate Ghosts
Students created whimsical ghost masks using paper plates, exploring the concepts of shape and expression. They learned to manipulate materials by cutting, painting, and decorating their masks with various craft supplies, such as markers and glitter. .

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 embarked on an excursion to collect natural materials that had fallen from trees or washed ashore—only using items that were no longer alive. They organized and glued their findings onto a canvas, enhancing their creations with color and patterns. Once all the projects were completed, we assembled them on a black blackboard and permanently displayed the collection in our school hallway!

Paper Mache Helmets, Skeletons, and more!
Paper mache is an incredibly fun art form! We have created imaginative masks inspired by historical cultures and their purposes, as well as Día de los Muertos sugar skulls. Students of all age groups thrive in this engaging and versatile art-making process.
