8th-Paper Relief Sculpture



This project will examine relief sculpture and the difference between shapes and forms.
Students will experiment with different paper shapes, folding and curling them into interesting forms.

After they find a shape they like, students will make 50 variations of their form to create a relief sculpture. Students will display their artwork in the hall with a written exhibition narrative for the viewer.



Different types of relief sculpture:

Low-Relief /Ancient Coins


Low-Relief /Ishtar Gate
