Have you ever lost something special or maybe something special has lost its use? Your best winter hat? Your favorite VHS tape? We're going to reference our own mental images of our remembered objects as we recreate them in paper mache.
This will be fun and fairly easy for all skill levels, with a few challenging moments. Ages 5-105 would be able to handle this medium.
Students will sculpt a generalized form in 3 dimensions. They will mix color using acrylic paint and use 2-D color, line and shape to define and characterize the generalized 3-D form.
Students will gain a sculpture that stands in for a lost object.
Born 1984 in New York, NY, Sophie White lives and works in Philadelphia, PA. Since adolescence in a rapidly transforming NYC at the turn of the millennium, she has made small, cityscape paintings from observation of familiar places at various stages of becoming unfamiliar. Colorful sculptures and experimental sound and performance work sometimes accompany her paintings, mimicking the environment in which they were made. She holds an MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and a BFA from the Cooper Union School of Art. In 2025 she was the subject of a solo exhibit at the Philadelphia International Airport, participated in 11 group exhibitions in Philadelphia and New York and was a nominee for the Pew Fellowship.
