Wonders of the World Paper Construction
Fifth and sixth grade artists used nothin' but paper to create some of the Seven Wonders of the World.
We considered the Original Wonders, the Modern Wonders and the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

Paper Quilling
Fifth and sixth graders are learning about paper quilling.
Paper Quilling otherwise known as paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. The paper is wound around a quill to create a basic coil shape. The paper is then glued at the tip and these shaped coils are arranged to form flowers, leaves, and various ornamental patterns similar to ironwork.During the Renaissance, French and Italian nuns and monks used quilling to decorate book covers and religious items. The paper most commonly used was strips of paper trimmed from the gilded edges of books. These gilded paper strips were then rolled to create the quilled shapes. Quilling often imitated the original ironwork of the day. (from Wikipedia)
We looked at several examples of paper quilling, including artwork by two artist, Yulia Brodskaya and Sena Runa.

Paper Relief and Photography
This project truly took on a life of its own! After looking at several examples of paper relief online on Pinterest, I set out cardboard squares, glue and piles of white paper, but I gave very few instructions about how to proceed. Artists experimented with rolling, folding and wrinkling the paper to create these magnificent sculptures. Then we set up a photography station using black paper, an overhead projector and the iPad. Students used basic photo filters to emphasize the way the light hit their creations. So beautiful!
