There's been a lot of serious Making going on in the UMS art room. Since January, Kindergarteners have worked to create paper mache donuts (classic ring donut, jelly-filled, and of course, the infamous munchkin). 1st Graders used paper mache to build realistic ice cream cones. And 2nd Graders used plaster gauze to create sculptures of the Blue Whale.
This week students got to work with clay, which will be transported to the high school art department for a kiln firing. Kindergarteners made clay cupcakes, 1st graders made birds and their nests and second graders made monsters. Here are some pictures from our adventures in sculpture:
