3D Plaster Letters
Project Description: Students will construct a 3 dimensional letter or series of letters from cardboard, cups, and plaster strips. Students can paint and/or finish the outside of the letter as they would like.
Be inspired by Signs! We are basically making a 3D version of a sign.

Robert Indiana
Robert Indiana, one of the preeminent figures in American art since the 1960s, has played a central role in the development of assemblage art, hard-edge painting and Pop art. A self proclaimed “American painter of signs,” Indiana has created a highly original body of work that explores American identity, personal history and the power of abstraction and language, establishing an important legacy that resonates in the work of many contemporary artists who make the written word a central element of their oeuvre.

Sculpting Large Letter
GOALS: (Learning Targets) -Properly construct the shape of the letter using cardboard, cups, tape and glue. -Letter should be 3D and have form (has height, length, and width) -At least one complete layer of plaster added to support structure and create a surface for painting. -Letter is finished in a creative ways (painting, collage, added features) |
