Carved Plaster Figures

Students mixed plaster and poured it into cups.  After the plaster set, they carved figures inspired by Henry Moore.

Coil Pots

Found Object Sculptures

Students studied artists Sayaka Ganz and Deborah Butterfield before starting this project.  

I loved seeing the wide variety of materials the students chose to use, and I loved helping them problem-solve how to arrange/attach it all together.  My students' creativity never ceases to amaze me! :)

Relief Sculptures with Rhythm

Students used cardboard, tag board, and other found objects to create these. The sculptures were to demonstrate the principle of design, Rhythm.

Portrait Busts

Students created portrait busts from clay.  They were to express a story, emotion, or idea through the bust.

Calder/Gabo Sculptures

Alexander Calder and Naum Gabo inspired Sculpture

Students researched Calder and Gabo before starting this project.  Students used wire and bamboo to make the armature and then covered it with tissue paper and liquid starch.  The sculptures were to demonstrate visual movement and balance.

One Million Bones

Students in Sculpture/Ceramics classes created ceramic bones for the One Million Bones project.  The bones are memorial to to the millions of people who have lost their lives or become displaced as a result of genocide and humanitarian crisis in places like Sudan, Burma, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.  The bones will be sent to Washington, D.C. to be part of a large scale installation on the National Mall on June 8-10.
