Keywords
Sculpture - a three-dimensional piece of art made by shaping or combining materials
Wrap - to cover by circling or folding something around
Form - to take or make something take a particular shape
Identity - all of those things by which a person or thing is known or is considered as being
Common misconception
My sculpture needs to show action or be realistic.
Our sculpture can be still, soft, or bulky. It doesn't need to move or look like a real person to hold meaning. Wrapping and shaping can show something inside you, a memory, a feeling or a story, without using words.
Equipment
large sheets of paper including A3 and A4, drawing medium, (optional music), masking tape, scissors, paper cups, cones, fabric strips, string, wool and yarn.
