Hi! My name is Alisa. I am a graphic designer living in Northern California. I love making things. Right now I am having fun with cut paper.
This is a worksheet I use to introduce paper sculpture techniques before we begin our sculpture unit. Each technique has a drawing to remind students, especially young readers or ELL students, what the terms refer to. The students then try the technique and glue it right on top of the image, as show...
Paper mache is a French word for chewed paper, a composite hard material made from paper pulp, often reinforced with textile and glued with adhesive. Paper
I usually start the year with kindergartners learning about and using lines. In previous years we have made line paintings and line sculptures with wire and pipecleaners. Another fun project we made was line windsocks by rolling up line paintings and adding tissue paper streamers. We’ve done line drawings (check out what my old blog used to look like before I moved it over to this website.) This year I was reminded by Cassie Stephens of a project I used … Read more... →

The idea for this lesson came from an image I saw on Pinterest.. but after doing some investigative work - seems to have originated from the blog Art. Paper. Scissors. Glue and before that from the 1991 book written by Sara Beggs, "The No Nonsense Guide to Teaching Art." For this lesson we began by taking about what symmetry is and the difference between linear symmetry (1 line of symmetry) and radial symmetry (more than 1 line of symmetry). Then we talked about what a sculpture is (a piece of artwork you can see from all sides - it is 3-dimensional) and what a relief "sculpture" is (a piece of artwork that has depth on the surface but is not meant to be seen from all sides). Once students understood the principles behind radial symmetry and sculpture we began creating our very own radial paper relief sculptures! Students started by folding a piece of 12"x12" black construction paper diagonally both ways and vertical and horizontally (to create an 'X' crease and a '+' crease). Making these creases makes creating a radial design SO much easier because it gives you guidelines to work with. Once their papers had been folded and their names written, we sat them aside. Before having students begin folding their colored paper (each piece was cut to 3" x 3") to fill the inside of their design, I demonstrated 4 folds to them to get them started. *Students were allowed to deviate from these folds if they wanted to. To download the handout below, click on the arrow button in the top right corner (this will open it in a new window). You can download from there. My kids absolutely LOVED this project! They are already super into origami, so this project was like heaven to them! :) You might also be interested in checking out my Paper Poinsettia Sculpture lesson which uses the same basic concepts.

I LOVE this new project. I was GREATLY inspired by A Faithful Attempt, an amazing blog that I have followed for quite some time now. This is how I attempted the project with my 8th grade. We took notes on both Contour line, and value. I asked the students to take ONLY one class period to make a sculpture of a word. They brought the sculpture in and I snapped a photo of it. The kids traced on photo as to show where the contour line is. After they had transfered the contour line onto their paper, students used value to make make the image 'pop'. For a first attempt I was really impressed with the class. They did a nice job! Please see the full collection on my flickr site. As you can see I had a light shining on the image as to create the most shadow I could. I took a picture so the same shadow would be on the sculpture in the next couple days of drawing.

I made all these paper maché weapon props for Halloween 2019 — a machete, a meat cleaver, a sickle, a scythe, two hatchets, a hand saw, a pitchfork, and a few knives. They were easy! I used a lot of the same process for these that I did for my paper maché kitchen knife prop […]
