7th and 8th grade students are finishing up the creation of their forms today and then using mache to give the forms a smooth and paintable surface.
Students will be using mache for the next few days before using the donated latex paint from Xrite to complete the project.
Paper mache means "chewed paper" in French and has a long history in art and utility item creation. Contemporary artists also enjoy this medium and one of my favorites is Dan Reeder who has authored many books and is the artist behind the video below.
