Head Sculpture Art

Head Sculpture Art idea from local artist Lisa Fredenthal-Lee
..........................................................................................................................................................
Step by Step on how to make
Brainy Bug Antennae
also called
Head-Sculpture Art		Materials needed:
  • Newspaper rolls
  • colored masking tape
  • your imagination!
..........................................................................................................................................................



Begin to roll it from one of
the corners.		Keep the roll kind of tight. It may need a bit of encouragement.
Roll to the opposite corner and tape it closed.
You have finished your first roll!! Wasn’t that easy?
Keep rolling. You'll need at least six for one set of antennae!
..........................................................................................................................................................
Now for the Brainy Bug Antennae!
Start by sizing a roll around
the head.
Tape it into place
(meaning: to itself in a ring shape,
not to your head).		Arch another roll over your head from side to side and tape it
into place.
This will be the armature.
..........................................................................................................................................................


Play with a curling the rolls around a stick or round object for a curly cue effect, or try folding them into a desired shape.
Add rolls to the sides taping them to the arched piece for added support to keep your antennae standing up straight.You now have your own one-of-a-kind Brainy Bug antennae. Welcome to the Brainy Bugs Club!!!
