Becoming a sculpture is no t an easy task. A sculptor is a creative fine artist who develops ideas from drawing tasks and uses those ideas to mold sculptures or statues. Sculptors make the images the draw come to life in three-dimensional form by joining and molding materials together. Sculptors typically work with hard materials like stone, marble, glass, metal, wood or ice. They can also use clay, plaster, gold, wire, plastic, rubber, fabric or even paper. Working with your hands to create art increases critical thinking skill, allows students to make real their own ideas, and become, literally, entrepreneurs all at once. Students see things being created by machines on the tv, computer, and in factories. They need to know that they can also create things on their own and possibly support themselves on their own. Art can provide that outlet for students. In this project, students have the option to take their supplies home and work on their sculpture.
