Another project taught at the PEM. This was a fun sculptural project that anyone can do with basic materials.

Materials:

  • Cardstock
  • Colored paper, cut in 1/2” strips
  • Glue

Directions:

Students take colored strips of paper and glue the ends onto the cardstock base. By weaving, looping, twisting, arching, etc., the colored strips should pop-off creating a 3-D effect. The end result is supposed to mimic water striations.
