Sculpture offers a spatial engagement with depth and form to students that other artistic practices cannot. After reviewing art education literature for a pilot study conducted in 2009 , it I recognized that sculpture resources were not as available to 6 grade to 12 grade art educators as to drawing, painting, or other 2 - D resources were . Since then, my research has focused on addressing the limited availability of sculpture resou rces for 6 - 12 art educators by developing an online curriculum resource with project outline s, project examples, and links regarding bringing sculpture into their classroom. The methods I used in this study include reviewing previous research and art edu cation literature on sculpture and curricula. I also developed and conducted a survey for practicing 6 - 12 art educators concerning their sculpture curriculum resources. In addition, I was able to observe local art teachers to examine practical strategies f or introducing lessons. While in the school, I field tested sculpture project outline s developed through the research. 9 The aim of this project is to provide a convenient resource to encourage sculpture practice in the classrooms. As a result of my resear ch, I have developed an online sculpture curriculum resource that provides art teachers with practical project outline s, finished pr oject examples, material demonstrations , and links
