Sewing is an important skill for students to learn. In this project, students will learn this skill while making creative felt monsters from the materials provided.
My 8th grade students are filled with creativity.
They are excited to learn about using various art making materials and I am excited to teach them how soft sculptures are made. Our school offers Art as a rotation for students interested in working with their hands to produce visuals that express who they are as individuals.
My Project
I am asking for the building blocks of the felt monsters. Felt, stuffing, thread, needles, buttons, and eyes are what will be purchased as a result of this project being funded. I am asking for your help in this project that will teach students about soft sculpture, artists who use this type of art making, as well as how to sew and construct their own sculpture of a monster out of felt.
This project is important because it is a different way of looking at sculpture in the art room and offers students an experience that can be transferred to real life situations.
Sewing is a skill that students should learn how to do and that will be taught through the activities prepared in this project.
