paper polyhedronsThe template for this paper sculpture came from a fellow art teacher and a lamp shade tutorial. Students are tasked to create a paper sculpture that demonstrates unity through color and repetition.
We begin the project with a review of color theory and complete a series of exercises to review a variety of color schemes. Next, students choose their paper and start building! |
