art is generically related to the figurative sculpture of the past.
Further, the medium of sculpture has been extending into everyday
materials considering historical, cultural, or environmental concept. In
this project, students explore the potential of material (cardboard)
sculpting their head portrait out of cardboard.
• Students will make a 20 in self-head sculpture out of cardboard.
