Image
 LINCOLN VISUAL ART - Final Project 2024: Papier M âché Animal STEP ONE: Students created animal sculptures using balloons, pine cones, wallpaper paste, diluted white glue and grocery bags. STEP TWO: Priming -- Students painted their sculptures with a layer of gesso. STEP THREE: Painting the undercoat -- Students used acrylic paint to put a general layer of color over their sculpture. STEP FOUR: Layering colors for transparency -- Students applied layers of tissue paper over their sculpture to give depth to their colors. STEP FIVE: Photographing the art -- Using the art room "studio," students arranged and lit their artwork.  Here is the artwork!  If you would like to purchase any of the artwork you see below, please screenshot the piece you're interested in and email me at mkornell@smmusd.org. I will reach out to the artist to see if the piece is for sale. All proceeds will go to funding field trips for visual arts students.
