Architectural Letters

Recently I was searching around the internet for some new lesson ideas and I came across the Blick art supply site.  They have TONS of lesson ideas to try out with various grade levels.  One in particular that grabbed my eye was one called Architectural Letters.  

I already had most of the supplies, so I decided to try this lesson with my eighth grade 3D elective class with a few modifications.  We started using the paper tape that was suggested in the lesson, but then switched over to paper-mache.  The paper mache actually worked much better as it was quicker to apply, covered more surface area and went on smoother.  It also required a LOT of cups.  I must have gone through about 300 cups with my forty students.

My students had a lot of fun with this project.  The best part was seeing the variety of ways they decorated the surface of their letters.  Once a few kids started using glitter and splattering paint it became contagious!
