Cardboard Constructions






Dog on a Rug

Materials Needed:
Cardboard (boxes, paper towel rolls, etc.)
Water
Strong Glue
Scissors/Box Cutter

I struggle a bit with abstract art so I chose to create a sculpture of a dog on a rug.
To get my cardboard to fold the way I wanted I soaked it in water. When I was finished I added a little bit of water color to the dog so It wouldn't blend into the rug.

I think students would have a good time creating their own cardboard sculptures, abstract or realism.
If I were to do this with grades younger than about fourth, I would provide pre-cut cardboard pieces for the students. To have them cut the cardboard would be too dangerous and would take a very long time, not to mention a mess!
