Is getting to learn! This semester I am teaching Three Dimensional Design, which is a beginning level class required for all art majors. I spend hours and hours researching, searching for artists and work to show my students. The first project I am having them do this semester is a paper sculpture project, and I found some pretty great stuff for them to get inspired by. I also started a class blog for them:
Go check out what they are up to and definitely check out all the links. It took me two years to complile that list of artists for the paper sculpture project! Oh, and as the semester progresses I will be posting a section of links associated with each project, so in a couple weeks there will be plenty more to browse. Here are just a couple of things I found when researching paper sculpture:

Amazing stuff. That class should be alot of fun!
I'm dying from loving these so much.
Wow, great finds Lynette!
Yes, this is what I'm missing about teaching this year -- always learning new stuff that, otherwise, I wouldn't. I'll be curious to see how participatory the class blog becomes. It's something I've toyed with doing in the past....
