Cardboard
Dwelling Sculptures

Students will create a sculptural dwelling out of cardboard, chipboard, compressed fiber board and other brown materials. 

These sculptures will live nicely together in one community. To achieve that, students will build sculptures that conform to a uniform scale: 1:48. You can divide the measurement of a life size object in feet by four to find the model size in inches.
