This week, 1st grade artists wrapped up the school year with a fun and colorful paper sculpture project inspired by art teacher and creator Cassie Stephens! Students explored the exciting world of line by turning flat strips of paper into standing 3D sculptures full of loops, curls, zigzags, and bends.
Using bright paper and their creativity, students learned how lines can move in many different ways and how artists can make artwork pop off the page. Each sculpture was attached to a bold black-and-white line background, they made with big Sharpies, helping the colorful forms stand out even more.
This lesson was the perfect one-day project to celebrate all the creativity, problem-solving, and artistic growth our 1st graders have shown this year. The classroom was filled with excitement as students experimented, built, and proudly shared their unique designs. We are so proud of these young artists and all they accomplished this year!
