Paper Tube Sculptures

I am always looking for free materials to use in my large drop in classes. Therefore, I rarely throw anything away that may have an artful purpose. So after saving up all my family toilet paper and paper towel tubes I thought about how I could combine them into a sculptural art piece. I was pretty happy with my end result which I had built as an example for a drop in art program I was running.  It was really interesting to see what everyone created using these simple cardboard tubes.

This guy is also made from a toilet paper tube (not at the drop in event though).  The tube was run under water first, scrunched into a face and then left to dry before it was painted and the glass eyes were added

It's kind of creepy and it's eyes follow you when you walk past, but I love it.
