Studio Art: Paper Craft

In studio art we are beginning a paper craft unit in which we will be creating origami paper boxes, paper jewelry, and paper vases using recycled materials and some of the previous lessons we learned such as Gelli printing and dry brush painting.

After learning the basic forms we'll get creative and experiment with creating new paper craft art in unique ways and try out some different techniques.
