LESSON PLAN
A. Objective of Lesson—Learning Goals--*	
To create a paper mache sculpture showing a strong emotion.	
B. Materials Needed for Class*	
Mask forms, paper mache pulp, newspapers, masking tape, white glue, paint, decorations.	
C. Instructional Plan and or Procedures
Using the paper mache mask forms build up the features to create a paper mache sculpture of a face showing a strong emotion or create a free standing sculpture to paper mache.	
Bellringers- Speed sketching-  Pose art manikin, draw for one minute, change position, draw again, repeat a third time. Zentangling- Discuss that a pattern is a design that repeats and show examples on the board such as dots and stripes. Discuss and demonstrate Zentangle patterns and show examples.  Students will zentangle the first five minutes of class for their bellringer.  
PROJECTS-Paper mache sculpture.  Will be creating a full head sculpture.  Should show strong facial emotion.  Create a base layer with brown paper towels dipped in glue/water mix (should be a syrupy consistency) wring out excess glue and apply to Styrofoam head.  Some students wet the head with glue and then rub the paper towel onto to it.  Apply 3-4 layers or until sculpture is hard and cannot be dented. Stand head on waxed paper and fan paper towels out from the head onto to the waxed paper to form a base.  Apply features with a pulp mix of half glue and Kleenexes mix.  Shred tissues and mix in with glue until a thick consistency.  Apply to face to create features.  Pulp should be thick enough to stick to sculpture.  Next day apply another layer of paper towels over the sculpture.  Gesso when dry to create a white base.  Paint black and let dry.  Highlight with silver paint to antique the sculpture.  Let dry.  Decorate.  Use screen to form hair strands.  May add tissue paper streamers and silver metallic streamers for hair.  May glue on or use metal thumbtacks and/or screws and nails to secure hair and add to design.  May use metal beads and the 3D pens to add to features and/or hair.
