Newspaper sculptures

During our week on the element of art form, sixth grade students spent time creating sculptures made out of rolled up newspapers. The students were required to roll up single sheets of newspaper as tightly as they could and then use them to create a 3D structure that would support its own weight. After some time figuring out the best ways to construct their forms, the students creatively set about making some really great sculptures. After construction was over we got out the paint and applied some color to our sculptures. Check them out!
