Is that sculpture "Tebowing"?

you know it!

Finally making myself sit down, get off of Pinterest, and write.  It's been a whirlwind of work happening in my art room - and I've been slacking on my blogging action.  My awesome students, however, just finished a very fun and exciting sculpture lesson on the artist Alberto Giacometti, so let's check it out. . .

nylon, wire, & clay - oh my!

student work.

My art room is back in full swing as we ride on into the start of the second semester.  And although I have many new projects starting up, I wanted to share the 3D Sculpture projects my 5th grade group created just before winter break. (Because, well they're awesome)

Half of my 5th grade classes, worked on creating Picasso-inspired wire/nylon abstract forms, while the other half transformed simple pinch pots into very wild creature sculptures.  

Both going with my districts' assessments standards - It was great to see the two completely different projects in action and let students' observe the many differences that sculpture art really are!
