Paper Sculpture is a form of visual arts that requires little preparation, readily available inexpensive materials, few core skills, easy clean up and instant results. The value of this form also is its freedom from set rules and steps that other paper art forms like origami require to obtain success. This freedom promotes exploration and experimentation as well as discussion during construction. The workshop will look at creating forms by shaping, manipulating and assembling paper to represent ideas.

The designing will be in plain paper and 3D aspect demands more planning, problem solving, experimenting, exploration, manipulating, arranging, controlling, and modifying. On a higher level it also demands anaylsing the object or person to be represented and then deconstructing and reconstructing to obtain the end product. Because of the nature of this visual art form it fits into all levels of the Visual Arts curriculum.

"Applying more creative teaching practices and cultivating students' creativity skills explicitly across the curriculum is the essence of a 21st Century teacher." - Rod Welford, past Minister for Education and Training, past Minister for the Arts.
Paper sculpture aligns well with these objectives "in looking at innovative ways of acquiring new understanding and applying new knowledge." It has the ability to enhance all areas of the curriculum and can be used very successfully in stimulating development and success in literacy. The workshop will show what a useful tool this form of art is and how to integrate it into the daily classroom curriculum.
