Maurice Sendak: Author & illustrator • Where the Wild Things Are

Embellish • The addition of decorative details
A central design in a pattern (what could all these stripes symbolize?) Motif
movement of the body that emphasizes an idea or attitude Gesture
Base • The lowest and supporting part of a sculpture
Design & Build a 3D figure • Create your own supernatural being. It should represent YOU somehow. • It DOES NOT have to be human in shape. But if it is, now you have a better idea about proportion. • It can have 2 legs or 7 legs! • Sketch out designs • Wire ‘armature’. Build up with foil, paper and then cover with plaster wrap with a final layer of papiermache • You are responsible for making your figure stand (create a base or make sure it balances!)
Plaster Wrap • Fabric that has been infused with plaster
a glue mixture that uses newspaper, wheat paste (flour) and water Papier Mache
After it’s built • Embellish and paint your sculptures • Details, textures and painted surfaces are very important and shouldn’t be neglected or rushed through.
Getting your figure to stand will be challenging but there are many ways to do this • Simple balance (more than 2 legs can help!) • Foil/Cardboard • Bring in materials to embellish your figure with • This project will take about 3 weeks to complete.
