This document provides instructions and guidance for students on an ART project to design a 3D letterform sculpture. It includes details on the assignment requirements, grading criteria, inspiration from other artists, design and planning steps, materials, making process, and evaluation questions. The project involves designing a 3D letter, creating plans and drawings, building a structure, painting and embellishing it, and reflecting on techniques used and aesthetic qualities. The goal is for students to demonstrate art and design skills while developing their own creative letterform sculpture.
