This was one of the first assignments I gave my 3D Art class this trimester: use a large piece of paper and tape to create a shoe. In the past, we have done this project with paper bags, but this year, students could individualize color by choosing different colored paper for the project. With some beginning tips on how to fold and cut the paper to make certain shapes, the students were off and running.
Many students had to problem solve in order to create the type of shoe they desired. They were also quite inventive once they got the hang of it. This project forced them to think about balance, color, design, form, and used their critical thinking skills. Almost no one had used paper to sculpt with, so the medium was different and new.
