Today in art Bat artists experienced the process of creating 3-dimensional form through paper mache. Each student began with a large bowl flipped upside down, and with paper mache paste and cut paper strips, learned how to apply paste and place individual mache pieces in overlapping, crisscrossing arrangements to ensure a stronger finished piece. We are excited to remove the dried mache from the bowls next week!

How interesting to remove dried paper mache forms from the large bowls today! Bats enjoyed painting the inner and outer surface of their bowls with bright spring like colors. We reviewed differences between 2 and 3 dimensional, and discussed form as an element of art.
