Nathan's rock-em sock-em robot

7th grader Nathan worked so hard on this sculpture.  He constructed it out of cardboard, papier mached it and then spray painted it.  It really looks like the toy don't you think?  Great job Nathan!

Alena's cool car


My 8th graders had a 4 day cardboard construction workshop.  This is one of my more creative students who actually had time to paint her sculpture.  She even engineered the wheels so that the car rolls.

The number dial really spins.

The almighty Gilmour


Chris Gilmour is a most amazing cardboard sculptor.  His craftsmanship and realistic renditions
of everyday objects make you stop and question if it is in fact cardboard that he is working with.

8th Grade Student Work





These doors were created as a warm-up lesson on how to create different textures using
cardboard. 

Mark Langan, textured cardboard


Mark Langan's textured relief sculptures are amazing.  He goes beyond
using the corrugated sections of carboard and creates wonderful surfaces.
There is no need to paint his sculptures because the beauty of the textured
surfaces are so varied and interesting.
