Multi-Cultural Crafts and 3D design
This semester long class explores various art media through the lens of cultures from around the world. Each unit of study tackles a new and different form of art making, each flavored by a unique civilization. Imagine, it’s like hands-on Art History. This class is for the student who LOVES art, history, diverse cultures, 3D design, and building! We will work with a variety of materials and students will be required to keep a sketchbook for planning their projects to explore ideas, to figure things out, to show other people what they mean, and because nothing great was ever built that didn't start with a great drawing.
Some work will be group collaborative projects while others will be individual work. The focus of this class will be on student problem solving, creativity, and craftsmanship. It is full of challenges and students must be committed to stay engaged and productive during class time and work as a team to keep the classroom and materials clean and organized.
The following are examples of projects that may be explored in this class.
Masks created using ceramics or plaster
3D Plywood cutouts
Wire sculpture
Printmaking
Monumental Sculpture
Batik
Egyptian style jewelry using metal and stained glass
Glass mosaics from Pompeii
Tablet weaving in the style of the Vikings
Native American Totem Poles using paper engineering
Asian Kite making
Personal Story Boxes
Slot Shelters
Paper Engineering and Quilling
Text as Sculpture
*some materials fees may be required.
