This video tutorial guides students through the process of building 3D forms on a paper mache hand sculpture using newspaper and Elmer's art paste. It begins with a review of how to prepare the paper mache paste and newspaper strips. Students learn to apply the strips smoothly and crisscross them for better adhesion. The tutorial then covers how to create and secure 3D details using wet newspaper and additional layers of strips. Finally, it provides instructions for cleaning up and storing the sculpture safely.
