For this constraint, you can use any sculpture medium you'd like, but the focus is on surface textures. These can be additive OR subtractive. (see samples of ceramic textures from http://schs-art.weebly.com/surface-texture.html) Monday: blind contour wire sculpture
Draw 2 quick continuous line blind contour portrait drawings. Then use thin gauge wire to create the sculpture from a single line of wire. Use tape and you can add wire to make it sturdy.
TUESDAY: NEWSPAPER/TAPE armature FOR CLAY portrait
Make a quick head/neck/shoulders out of newspaper and masking tape. Then begin layering on soft pieces of clay to create a head/neck of a person. You may want to refer to a photo/ image to help sculpt your figure.
For your "MANIC MONDAY" for this week, you will create a found object sculpture wrapped with yarn. Find 5-10 objects and wrap them with yarn to create your sculpture. Perhaps do a series of more than one to display together.

Seth Apter is a guest artist for the show, "Make it Artsy" on PBS. Below is one of his art ideas which is a variation on this "Wild Wednesday" assignment. You may want to check it out!!
For the next Manic Monday, you will use cardboard as your three dimensional sculpture medium. Cardboard is an excellent medium and SOOOO versatile. You will be able to create with it in so many ways. Below are ways that you can attach cardboard together and/or make it sculptural. Also, I am sharing the link to Darrell Wakelam's site. He is both an art teacher and an artist who specializes in sculpting using cardboard. Its amazing all the things he can do with this simple medium. The art of Darrell Wakelam:Wakelem has amazing artwork out of cardboard, but because he is also an art teacher, he has broken down his technique and make it kid-friendly. You could easily utilize his ideas and methods to create artwork that goes with your sustained investigation subject matter. check out his own artwork below: Below are kid-friendly project downloads that he shares with elementary and middle school aged kiddos. I think they are a little formulaic for you guys, but you could see how he breaks it down and follow similar steps to create your own images.
Create a series of small simple forms to put together as a larger sculpture. These could be found objects or created by you. Or found objects that are altered in some way by you. Option #1: Repeated PAper SculptureFold/ crimp/ roll etc. paper into a simple shape. Make as many of these shapes as possible to then create a simple sculpture out of that shape. Option #2: Neon (or other color) Paper sculptureUse various paper sculpture techniques to create a sculpture.
Start with a paper tube. Next, bend, fold, roll, cut paper in a way that makes it three-dimensional. Add those 3D additions to the original paper tube as the base. For this next sculpture, you will have the constraint of including some sort of Fibers, Fabric or Wire within your piece in some way. See below for inspiration You have a slightly different manic week. We will be reworking some of your pieces and photographs to make your older work even stronger!! You get to figure out the timings, but by the end of the week all of the following list should be complete and uploaded to your blog.
