Our Art Club has been working hard on a sculpture made from recycled materials. This will be on display this Saturday at APSU's Red Barn from 9-4. Come out and vote for us before 3:30 so we can win a $3000 Grant for the Art Dept. !!!!!!

Toilet paper sculpting!

Yes, that is the correct title of this post! Earlier this year I went to a workshop where one of the ideas was to sculpt with toilet paper. The trick is to barely wet one side of the paper then let the water soak or seep into the toilet paper. You can shape it, let dry, & when it dries it will hold its shape & can be painted. I decided to teach pop art and Wayne Theibaud with this lesson. So, 5th grade students are creating their favorite food. This is still a project in progress....more pics soon! I started everyone with sculpting a simple egg, then we painted them green & various other colors. The timing worked out great for Dr. Suess read across America!

How do you like your eggs?

Since next week is read across America week, our school has Dr. Seuss activities planned for each day and I set up my March bulletin board displaying green foods & different colored egg & ham sculptures as a little twist on green eggs and ham. I'm excited over the final product, and the kids really enjoyed the food art they created for the display.
