My art students collaborated in groups to create a 3D sculpture. Students first had to agree on a an idea and then began working in teams to create their fun paper mache' sculptures. They were put on display and then votes were casts for the favorite overall designs. It's always fun to see who takes the leadership role as I walk around the groups in the classroom. I provide advice, encouragement and support to each group.

 

Haunted houses and clay gargoyles were created during October! Students learned about the history of gargoyles and how/why they were used during the middle ages. Silhouettes of gothic architecture were discussed and then used while painting haunted houses!
