Sculpture made from Basswood Sticks.
In our class we are using Balsa (not Basswood). Balsa is softer than Bass.
You can cut Balsa with a utility knife. Bass cannot be cut with a utility knife.
I found this artist on Behance.

EXAMPLES OF ARTISTS WORKING WITH CARDBOARD:
MATERIALS:
STEPS TO FOLLOW:
Step 1:
- Cardboard. Students gather cardboard on their own.
- Duct tape
- Utility knife
- Cloth tape measure
- Ruler
- Mask Tape (used to hold cardboard together while you put on final layer of duct tape)
- Paper/pencil
STEPS TO FOLLOW:
Step 1:
- Find a water fountain on campus that you want to replicate.
- Materials to take with you:
- Camera phone. If you do not have a camera phone, see me for an alternative step.
- Cloth measuring tape.
- Paper/pencil
Step 2:
Step 3:
Step 4:
- Use your camera phone to take ten (10) pics of the water fountain.
- Strive for five (5) images at different angles and five (5) details (close-up).
- You will have to refer to these images when building, so if you feel your water fountain needs more than 10 images, take as many as you need.
- Use a cloth measuring tape to take detailed measurements of the water fountain.
- Measure every shape, angle, line.
- Create a diagram(s) with all your measurements, make many notes.
Step 4:
- Build a small scale model of the water fountain. The model does not have to be "pretty" - you can use copy paper or scrap paper, scotch/mask tape.
- Model should be approximately six inches in height (hint - a dollar bill measures six inches).
Step 5:
- Begin building final structure out of cardboard.
- A demo will be done in class to show students how to safely use a utility knife to cut the cardboard.
- The final structure will be covered in duct tape. To ensure you have enough duct tape to cover the final solution, you can begin the construction with mask tape.
Step 6:
- Field trip to visit actual water fountains.
- Each student will carry their water fountain as we visit each student's water fountain on campus to see how the constructed water compares to the actual water fountain.
- Bring your camera phone so another student can take a pic of you with your replica, next to the actual water fountain.

This artist's work can inspire ideas for the Map Relief Assignment.
The structure you design does not have to be one, contained structure.
You can several components that install on the wall and use the wall surface to expand design.
