Sculpting with paper

Artist Ania Bas is working with children at Dundonald Primary School this term on project to make a new children’s picture book. She will help the children develop characters, storyline and  backgrounds.

She will explore collage, painting and paper sculpting in both 2 and 3 dimensions. Stories will be inspired by music and the children will invent new languages for their characters.

We began with exercises to develop our drawing skills.

We explored characters through simple paper sculptures.

We drew and cut out 4 chunky symbols  – our initial, things we are good and bad at and our dreams.

We had to make the 4 elements join together and stand independently, without glue or tape. We then used the same technique to start developing a new character.
