Giant Paperclip Necklaces, Soup-Can Rings and Cherry-Pie Hats
Winters, Laurel A.
Arts & Activities, v149 n4 p16-17 May 2011
In this article, the author describes an art project inspired by the wearable sculpture art created by artist Marjorie Schick. Students used wallpaper paste and newspapers to create papier-mache for a mountain hat, a cherry-pie mask/hat, a "dress" shoe and a Cubistic mask. Cardboard was used in many of these things, in addition to being used as the base for a cutout necklace. Cardboard tubing and tape created a giant paperclip "necklace." A cardboard box was turned into a cage mask. Air-drying clay created a pair of Warhol soup-can rings. The students had a lot of fun stretching their imaginations and creating personal embellishments outside the "jewelry" box.
