The sixth graders studied the concept of sculpture in-the-round this year, and used the cardboard sculptures of the artist Warren King as an example and an inspirational starting point. After watching and practicing techniques for manipulating cardboard like corrugation bending, tabbing, slotting, scoring, layering and more, they were given the challenge of building a cardboard sculpture that utilized two or more of these techniques and that demonstrated in-the-round. They were to represent an animal or an object.
