- Produce at least  1 sketch of ideas for their paper mache sculptures. (Show-Me Standard 2.5), (Fine Arts 1).

- Produce an paper-mache sculpture using molds, paper mache, poster board, paint, and wire. (Show-Me Standard 2.5), (Fine Arts 1).

PI- Balance, Texture, Form, Abstract, Non objective, Mask Sculpture in the round

 

List or describe the main Essential Nine or other instructional strategy for this lesson :

            Reinforcing and providing recognition- This project is pretty open in the final project from student to student.  So what the teacher does is set a goal for a final outcome, and let the student explore ideas on how they can individually get there.  Throughout this time the teacher as well as peers give positive feedback to others to help them through the process of the three dimensional Mask sculpture.

 

Briefly describe the main Instructional Strategies and Student Activities:

           

Materials:

Molds

Newspaper

Paper Mache paste

Paint

Wire

Brushes

Poster board

Yarn and other added materials

 

            1. This project starts with two projects that cover all material needed to be successful.  One project is designed for those who are behind and can be done in order to catch up.  The other is a more in depth view of material, but the end product is usually more wanted, so what I have found is that most students pick the harder project to get the better result. 

            2. Both projects start with a demo by the teacher on how to use the molds and how to cleanly use the paper mache.  This step is very important if you do not want to have a huge mess at the end of class to clean up. 

            3. The students then work on the paper mache part of the mold mask until it is complete.  Once the molds have dried the students then add on to their projects using poster board to increase the effect of positive and negative space.  Once the teacher has verified completion of this step the students are allowed to paint on their sculptures.  This step needs no demo because the students first project covered the use of brushes and paint effectively.  The final step is touch up of any uneven or off balance surfaces on the three dimensional sculptures. 

            4. The students then take a common assessment over the entire process.

How will students be assessed on the above objective(s)?

Formative: Students will use knowledge of sculpture and paper mache process to create a three dimensional sculpture paying attention to positive and negative space.

The students mask sculptures will be graded using a formal rubric.

 

 

Summative: Students will be assessed over sculpture process using common assessment.
