The goal of this workshop is to expand the participant’s understanding of what sculpture is through discussion and a slide show. The workshop will also provide an opportunity to work with three-dimensional forms culminating in the creation of a small sculpture.
We will use cardboard to create volumetric forms. Cardboard will be cut, folded, taped, glued, painted and affixed to wooden bases which will be provided by the instructor.
