Paper Mache on Hand Cast

The video tutorial guides students through the process of creating a paper mache hand cast. It begins with securing a masking tape hand cast to a cardboard base. The tutorial then explains how to mix Elmer's paper mache art paste and prepare newspaper strips. Students learn to apply the paste-coated strips to the hand cast, ensuring smoothness and multiple layers for a firm structure. The video emphasizes the importance of cleaning up after the activity and allowing the sculpture to dry for 48 hours.
