Club de Arte 3:06: Rag Doll Bodies


THEME OF WEEK 3:06: Rag Doll Bodies
19th, 20th and 24th of November 2014
and the Charlotte Miller Art Project in Guayaquil, Ecuador

IDEA AND AIMS:  For the children to complete part 2 of the 3-stage process of making their rag doll, by making the body using cardboard and cloth construction.



PROCESS: 
1. Each child shapes a body by rolling a sheet of thick cardboard into a cylinder. 
2. Next the child rolls up sheets of paper into long tubes that can be secured onto the body with masking tape and silicone.  
3. Dress the whole body by wrapping it in cloth scraps. 

MATERIALS FOR ‘RAG DOLL BODIES’
Instruction posters and examples. 
Cardboard
large sheets of white paper
masking tape
scissors
silicone
material scraps and old clothes
bags for rubbish, cloths and soap for the clean up

NOTE: On November 13th 2014 had a serious bike accident in which I fractured my coccyx, so from this date on my movement was significantly restircted and unfortunately I had to miss three workshops: the head making and body making in Nueva Prosperina and body making in Sergio Toral.   Our new cmap volunteer Emily was dropped in the deep end when, after only a couple of weeks at JUCONI she had to lead these 3 sessions alone, with the support of on various days, Ronald, Joseph and Carolina.  Well done Emily for doing an amazing job and for being so supportive to me too!
