UNIT 2: FANTASTICAL ANIMALS:
Subtractive/Additive Sculpture
*PROJECT GOAL: Since
the cave paintings of early humans, the visual depiction of animals has
embodied great spiritual and cultural significance for indigenous cultures
throughout the world. Inspired by animal symbolic beliefs and artwork from a
variety of indigenous peoples and contemporary artists students chose two or
more animals of personal symbolic significance and created a clay sculpture of
a fantastical hybrid creature. Students explored the paintings styles of 20th century
Mexican artists and their Alebrijes, which
are brightly colored Oaxacan-Mexican folk art sculptures
of fantastical creatures.
