Here are a few pictures of the 1st/2nd grade class creating their paper sculptures. After a brief discussion about abstract art and 3-D art, students were shown how to roll strips of scrapbook paper around their pencil to make a tight curl. Keeping it rolled, they dipped one end of the curl in white glue and held it to their background paper for 10-20 seconds. They glued 10-20 paper curls on their background paper to create their abstract paper sculptures. I have to say, this was definitely one of the most frustrating projects for the students, because a lot of the time the paper strips came uncurled or wouldn't stay glued to the background paper. They persevered! It was a good lesson in patience and delayed gratification :)
