Mr. Sacco's 8th grade class created non-objective, relief foil designs that focused on line, shape and pattern. Relief is a type of sculpture in which formprojects from a background. Using the repousse method, students created their metal reliefs by burnishingthe metal foil on both sides. Completed foil designs were then "antiqued" using black india ink and steel wool. Next, students matted their artwork and were presented with the challenge ofcontinuing their 3-D design onto the 2-D surface of their matte using color pencils. *Adapted from a lesson that appeared in Arts and Activities Magazine.
