Foam Sculpture: Creating Non-Representational Art in the Round

In this activity, you will use carving tools to transform a green foam block into an interesting non-representational sculpture. The sculpture should have altered forms and at least one negative space. Smooth the edges and remember to scratch your name and class period on the bottom. Avoid using words, numbers, or recognizable symbols. Rinse off any dust by dampening the foam.
