SKATEBOARDING IS NOT A CRIME!!

Here is the first in a series of large sculptures that my second grade students are building. All the materials are recycled save our trusty glue gun. In case you can't tell, it's a skater frozen "mid-trick".

Puppet Sculptures

Here are a few examples of the puppet my students created using plaster of paris and free fabric from Materials for the Arts. Now that these guys have a handle on simple 3-d building we'll try something a little more difficult (...more later!)

Clay Highlights

Here are a few highlights from out clay unit. We spent about 2 months exploring the uses of clay from vessels to small animal sculptures to picture frames.

Las Calaveras de Jose Guadalupe Posadas

4th grade students loved the graphic work of Posadas. We used his humorous depictions of "living skeletons" as inspiration for our own Calavera scupltures.
