Sculpture is typically a medium that most think is reserved for seasoned artists. For adults persuing the arts, it calls for a more involved schooling, as the techniques can be arduous and the materials not easily accesible.

For children however, sculpture can be one of the most fun to learn, as the process is kinesthetic and hands on. Many like the unfamiliarity of creating something that is not flat and that challenges the mind to see how the art can be viewed from all sides. Sculpture is a great way to teach children the differences between two dimensional and three dimensional art and the concept of forms in space.

Simplistic materials like cardboard, popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, old books, and recyclables are easy ways for children to access the medium. Techniques like sticking, inserting, bending, breaking, tearing, gluing and learning about different connection methods are all important and fun tools for children to explore.
