This self-paced, TEA-approved studio experience invites art educators to explore soft sculpture through non-representational form building. Using fabric, batting, thread, and optional wire, participants experiment with adhesive-free construction, investigating balance, attachment, and air as primary design principles.
Learn and Practice:
Material-led experimentation with soft sculpture
Techniques for joining materials via sewing, tying, and wrapping
Observation and reflection on spatial relationships and tension
Classroom & Studio Applications:
Adapt lessons for students of any age, introducing 3D form exploration and tactile construction
Integrate historical and contemporary artist references for discussion and inspiration
SEL-infused practices emphasizing patience, risk-taking, and creative problem-solving
CPE Credit: 3 hours Format: Self-paced, digital curriculum + printed studio cards + curated material kit
