In art we are making paper maché immigrant dolls. The first step of the project was to take wire with newspapers around them and make the shape of a body. For the head we made circles of newspaper wire and we twisted the wire to attach the body to the head. When we were done we paper machéd the body into the shape we wanted. Then we let it dry. The next class when the paper maché was dry we painted the doll with skin color paint. In the next class we dressed the doll to look like an immigrant. I thought it was a fun part. That happened for the next two classes. Then it was time to paint the face. I thought that was the hardest part. You were so nervous that you would mess up on the face because it was for the art show. It was optional if you wanted to make a suitcase or a pet. To make a suitcase you would take a small box and paper maché it. Then you would make a paper maché handle. You could paint the suitcase brown and make a design. You could also put leather over handle. I thought it was really fun.
