• Glog = a computer-generated poster.– You can link videos, sound clips and images

from the Internet into your poster for others to see.

– You can choose from colors, shapes, and themes that are already designed for you.

– Glogs are great tools for learning and sharing information with others.

– Remember to cite your resources!

• By the end of this project, you will be able to:

– Explain elements of relief sculpture. – Create a sculpture using cardboard as

media (elements of "culture") – Develop skills in working with color.

How is this project 3-D art?

• Areas of your artwork will be raised up, and not left flat. (think about a pop-up book)

How is this 3-D art?• There will be textural

elements.

• Some areas will feel

smooth, while others

feel rough to touch.

• There is depth from layering pieces of cardboard on top of one another.

Where do we start?Your task is to create a relief sculpture of an everyday

item from popular culture, as inspired by the relief wood sculptures of Clayton Pond.

• Brainstorm ideas by Journaling: write down ideas, and draw quick sketches of your ideas.– Think about everyday objects and images that

anybody would recognize. (ie: household appliances, food, furniture, accessories like sunglasses, shoes, logos, etc…

– Simplify the shapes and forms so it is easier for you to draw. You must have at least 3 thumbnails and evidence of journaling before beginning your project.
