Frequently Asked Questions

How many ways can you find to alter a simple square of paper? There's folding, cutting, curling, crumpling, rolling, twisting, embossing, punching...so many creative ways, it's a challenge to stop!

Cut shapes from heavy paper and attach them to two rings. As they float around in a circular pattern, they create visual movement and energetic spaces.

In speaking of stained glass windows found in gothic-era cathedrals, French architect Viollett-le-Duc referred to them as “veils of light and color...” This project is far simpler than producing stained glass-type artwork, where pieces fit together and are separated by lead lines. By eliminating those aspects of construction, students are free to use shape, value, and color as they like, with the added element of light to illuminate their creations.

"In a honey bee community, one can find a level of cooperation and collaborative teamwork that exists nowhere else on earth. Students consider the people in their “hive” and design a “honeycomb” that credits those who keep the community humming."

How can a flat piece of paper become a 3-dimensional relief sculpture with only one fold? The answer lies in multiple layers! Students use math skills to create contour shapes that recede in space and then expand again, while learning about a popular contemporary artist.

Geometric art kicks both the "left" and "right" sides of the brain into gear! Use gridded paper to arrange colorful, pre-cut tissue paper circles. Beginning mathematicians create new colors, patterns and shapes with circles, while more advanced students use smaller sectors to form a variety of angles, shapes and spatial relations.
