Synopsis

Discover practical ways to bring sculpture and design into the classroom, with clear steps and examples.

This edition presents a hands-on approach to modelling in public schools, showing how young learners can observe, design, and create through guided activities.

The text organizes work into direct modelling from objects, memory and imagination, and a dedicated design track. It also explains when to use casts, how to plan projects, and how to balance speed with careful study. Readers will find concrete lessons for early grades through upper elementary, with emphasis on building taste, accuracy, and constructive imagination.

  • Modelling from objects to develop close observation and accurate form
  • Modelling from memory and from imagination to strengthen visualization
  • Design-focused lessons that teach composition, spacing, and ornament
  • Practical techniques for plaster casts, relief work, and simple maps

Ideal for teachers of art and design, homeschooling families, and anyone helping students explore three-dimensional thinking through hands-on projects.
