Let's Discover the Sculpture Studio

**Sculpture is a type of artwork that is three dimensional. It can be seen from all sides. Sculptures can be made out of many things like clay, wood, metal, glass...you name it!**

**An artist who makes sculptures in called a sculptor.**

We can see a sculpture in a museum...

Sometimes an artist can sculpt from unusual materials...

Sometimes artists create sculptures for the outdoors. Have you seen this sculpture in Forest Park?

In sculpture you can add

some of the ways you add to your sculpture are by using slits, hot glue, tape, paper tape, brass fasteners and staples; these are attachments.

In Sculpture you can subtract

When you remove material such as carving, cutting or scraping, you are creating a subtractive sculpture.

In SCULPTURE we TRANSFORM materials

We change the appearance of the materials by cutting, gluing, wrapping in paper, coloring with markers or Kwik sticks to transform them from their original look.

We keep our materials organized...

Containers have labels with pictures and words. We put like items together.

In this studio we use tools in a safe way...

All Tools are a choice.

Safety Goggle tools: Gloves:

Drill Hot Glue gun

Saw

Wire cutters

To Saw you must use a vice and safety goggles. Two artists may saw at a time. ONLY wood and corks may be sawed.

*NO jabbing, stabbing or poking through sculpture materials. use a drill to make a hole! Drill in the vice or over your book.

Today we will do a checklist to show that we are ready to work in the sculpture studio.

**You will make a cylinder...**

**You will flange the cylinder...**

Spiral and accordion fold

You will create tabs or braces...

After you flange a cylinder and show that you know how to make tabs, you may explore other ways to connect papers for sculptures...
