Use scissors to cut a collection of strips from your colored paper.  You may choose to cut all straight lines or experiment and cut out variations like zig zags or even spirals.

Fold “feet” (tabs) at the ends of strips of paper and spread glue underneath. Using "feet" or tabs helps to ensure that the pieces stay securely glued.  Paper strips can be added to the sculpture base, on top of, below, behind, or next to the first strip.

Try adding different line types to your sculpture. Line variations may be created by folding or twisting the paper strips, and cutting thick and thin pieces. A curl can be created by wrapping a strip of paper tightly around a pencil.

Place a blank piece of paper behind your sculpture and shine a bright light from a flashlight or phone onto your creation.  Move the light around until you have a nice shadow filling your blank page.  Ask a family member to hold the light for you while you use a pencil to trace the shadows.  The shadow tracing will create another interesting piece of line art!
