模块化雕塑：简易 3D 课程
若您正寻找一项低成本的雕塑作业，同时又能夯实学生对 3D 艺术基础的理解，不妨试试这堂模块化雕塑美术课！我曾将本课用于我的 3D 设计课——该班学生水平参差不齐：许多学生从未修读过高中其他美术课，实为零基础。因此，我特意在学期初安排一个单元，专注讲授雕塑的基本原理。
泰特美术馆（Tate）将「模块化」定义为：「尤其与极简主义相关的一个术语，指一件由若干可移动、可分离并可重新组合的部件构成的艺术作品。」关于此类极简主义艺术风格的更多信息，请点击此处阅读；更多延伸内容请见此处。
模块化雕塑全程教学视频
若您更习惯通过视频学习，这段免费视频将完整呈现我的全部教学流程，且可直接用于课堂教学。我通常先在课堂上逐步示范，再让学生观看此视频以复习步骤，或在已现场演示某项技法后，于课始播放作为快速视觉提示。该视频十分适配 Canvas 或 Google Classroom 平台；若学生因故居家隔离（是的，欢迎来到 2022 年），他们亦能轻松自主跟进进度，无需我亲自盯守。
模块化雕塑所需材料
- 白乳胶（Elmer’s glue）
- 热熔胶枪及胶棒
- 丙烯颜料（或喷漆）
- 卡纸裁成的方形/矩形底座

制作模块
模块示例
我们首先用冰棒棍制作模块。您也可选用牙签、吸管，或任何价格低廉、易于批量采购或获取的材料。我运气不错——科学组正清理大量库存冰棒棍，我便顺势大量储备。
动手前，我们会讨论「模块」的定义（参见上方链接）以及几何形体知识。此步骤我倾向使用白乳胶，因其价格低廉且完全胜任粘接任务；木工胶亦可替代，但成本更高。此环节通常不占用整节课时，具体耗时则取决于学生所制模块数量及您所在学校的课时长度。
上色方案
待模块彻底干燥后，我们使用丙烯颜料为其上色。具体操作方式可根据您的材料配备情况、班级规模及个人偏好灵活选择。喷漆无疑是最快捷、最省力的选项；其缺点在于成本较高，且若班级人数众多，您可能缺乏足够空间安全施喷；小规模分组操作虽可行，但仍需专人监督。
我首次授课时，是先完成雕塑组装，再统一上色。结果发现，颜料难以深入所有缝隙与凹槽，且覆盖热熔胶后表面质感不均。第二学期，我改为要求学生在组装前为每个模块单独上色。此举仅略增耗时，但我认为作品工艺水准明显提升——热熔胶痕迹因而更不显眼。
组装模块化雕塑
当学生至少完成十个模块后，我们便开始用热熔胶进行组装。看着雕塑逐渐“活”起来，过程格外有趣。随着雕塑高度增加，学生需不断解决问题，以确保整体平衡稳定。我要求学生从各个角度审视自己的作品，确保其「全方位」（in the round）都富有观赏性。
部分班级甚至展开竞赛，发起「高度挑战」。我额外提供了冰棒棍，允许学生按需制作任意数量的模块。不同班级中有两名学生将作品并排摆放，每日比拼高度。最终获胜者的作品高达近四英尺。
最终成果是一幅趣味十足、色彩丰富的三维艺术作品，为本课程后续内容奠定基础。我教授陶泥、金属丝、石膏雕刻以及废旧物品浮雕雕塑等技法，每种技法均建立在模块化雕塑制作过程中所探索的基础之上。
模块化雕塑教学资源
我的学生每日完成基于费尔德曼艺术批评法设计的热身练习。我们首先以素描作为“描述”环节；接着运用美术术语进行“分析”；第三天开展“阐释”，探讨作品所传递的信息、主题或意义；最后进入“评价”环节，陈述个人见解。学生需使用速写本完成每日任务，并据此获得每周速写本成绩。该流程有助于建立良好的课堂常规，同时充分覆盖那些易被忽视的美术课程标准。

艺术家联结
若您希望将本模块化雕塑课程与艺术家案例结合教学，不妨参考以下两位艺术家——我的学生曾深入研究过他们。
Rasheed Araeen 是研究极简主义、几何形体与模块化艺术的理想对象。您可在此处阅读他在泰特美术馆网站上的相关介绍。
卡米拉·洛（Camilla Løw）是另一位与极简主义及几何形体密切相关的艺术家。她创作出富有趣味性的雕塑，是典型的非具象艺术范例。您可在此处查看她的作品示例。

Modular Sculpture: Easy 3D Lesson
If you are looking for an inexpensive sculpture assignment that teaches the foundations of 3D art, try out this modular sculpture art lesson! I taught this to my 3D Design class that always has quite a mixed bag of students. Many have not taken any other art class in high school and are true beginners. I wanted to teach a unit at the start of the semester that focused on the basics of sculpture.
Tate defines modular as “a term used particularly in relation to minimalism, referring to a work of art with constituent parts that can be moved, separated and recombined.” Read more about this minimalist style of art here.
Modular Sculpture Full Length Video
If you prefer videos to reading, this free video will describe my entire process and is 100% classroom ready. I like to teach each step and then send students to this video for reviewing steps or as a quick visual reminder at the start of class after I’ve already live demonstrated a technique. It’s great for Canvas or Google classroom, and if students are quarantined (hello, 2022) they can easily catch up without me having to stand over them.
Modular Sculpture Materials
- Popsicle sticks or toothpicks (I started with 30 per student)
- Elmer’s glue
- Hot glue guns and glue sticks
- Acrylic paint (or spray paint)
- Cardboard cut into squares/rectangles for bases

Creating Modules
Example of modules
We start by creating our modules using popsicle sticks. You can also do this with toothpicks, straws or any material that is inexpensive and can be bought/found in bulk. I got lucky and the science department was getting rid of tons of popsicle sticks, so I stocked up.
Before we start, we discuss what modules are (see link above) as well as geometric shapes. I like to use Elmer’s school glue for this step because it’s cheap and does the job. Wood glue could also be used, but it is a more expensive option. This does not take an entire class period, but it may depending on how many modules students are making and how long your classes are.
Painting Options
Once the modules are dry, we paint them with acrylic paint. There are several options for doing this depending on your access to materials, class size and personal preference. Spray paint is hands down the easiest and fastest option. The negatives are that it is expensive and you may not have an area to do this with large class sizes, or small groups with supervision.
The first time I taught this, we constructed the sculptures first and then painted. It was a little annoying to get into all the cracks and crevices, and it had a different texture over the hot glue. The second semester I had students paint each individual module before construction. It was only a little more time consuming and I feel like the craftsmanship improved because the glue was less obvious.
Constructing the Modular Sculpture
Once students had at least ten modules, we began constructing the sculptures using hot glue. It was really fun to watch the sculptures come alive. Students had to problem solve as their sculptures grew taller to achieve balance. Students were instructed to look at their sculptures from all sides and make sure it was interesting “in the round”.
Some classes got competitive and wanted a height challenge. I had extra popsicle sticks and let them make as many modules as they wanted. Two students in different classes stored theirs next to each other and competed each day. The winner measured in at almost four feet tall.
The end results are a fun and colorful example of creating 3D art that serves as a foundation for the rest of the course. I teach clay, wire, plaster carving and found object relief sculptures and each technique builds on the foundations explored while constructing modular sculptures.
Modular Sculpture Teaching Resources
My students complete daily warm-ups developed from the Feldman’s method of art criticism. We start with a sketch as our form of description, then analyze using art vocabulary. On day three we interpret the message, theme or meaning and then finally we evaluate and state our opinions. Students have sketchbooks they complete each daily task for a weekly sketchbook grade. It creates great classroom routines and ample opportunity to address all those art standards that can easily be overlooked.

Artist Connections
If you are looking for artists to teach with this modular sculpture art lesson, take a look at these two artists my students investigated.
Rasheed Araeen is a great artist to study minimalism, geometric shapes and modular art. You can read about his work here on the Tate Museum website.
Camilla Løw is another artist that connects to minimalism and geometric shapes. She creates fun sculptures that are great examples of non-objective art. See examples of her work here.
