3D Name Sculpture The first project I had my students do was a 3D name sculpture. This was the inspiration for the project (scroll down). I was very impressed with the outcome. My students' sculptures came out great - especially since it was the first project of the year. First I had my students type out their name using different fonts. I recommended they use thicker fonts that would make a better base. Next I had my students draw out the letters, sketching them lightly in case they needed to erase. I had them add designs in each letter. They then used markers to fill in the designs to create a bolder look. Afterwards they glued each letter to a piece of card stock (or file folder) to make each letter sturdy. I reminded them to position the letters on the card stock before cutting them out to make sure there was enough and not to waste the card stock, and then I had them cut them out. I had them build the structure using a glue gun (which worked very well).
