HOW TO MAKE A PAPER SCULPTURE

WHY DO ART WITH KIDS?

Children are naturally curious. They observe, explore, and imitate, trying to figure out how things work and how to control themselves and their environments. This freedom of exploration helps children form connections in their brain, it helps them learn—and it’s also fun!

Art is a natural activity to support this essential interaction with the world. Kids need the freedom to explore and experiment creatively.

Art allows children to practice a wide range of skills that are useful not only for life but also for learning. These include the aesthetic, scientific, interpersonal, and practical interactions that can be discovered through the senses, intellect, and emotions.

Making and appreciating art involves emotional and mental faculties!

Art, whether making it, learning about it, or simply looking at it – offers a wide range of important experiences.
In other words, it’s good for them!

PAPER SCULPTURES

Think of sculptures are having 3 dimensions. They have length, width, and height. Sculptures can be made by modeling, carving or placing materials together. They can be made out of metal, paper, stone, wood, clay or any other material the artists want to use! You can even make sculptures out of paper!

The earliest found sculptures belong to the Aurignacian culture, who lived in Europe and southwest Asia. These people produced some early cave art, and stone tools, pendants, bracelets, beads, and bone carvings.

Sculpture made of stone survive far better than sculptures made from materials, like wood or clay.
