Second graders have been learning about the various materials that can be used to make sculpture. They also examined a work by Miriam Schapiro and Edgar Degas to see dancers in motion or caught in a moment. Artists' styles were discussed. Students also looked at a soft sculpture by Oldenburg. The tiny dancers were made from recycled grocery bags among other soft items. Students enjoyed the process. After complete, students were able to go "shopping" for tunics and belts for their figurine. Many student artists used their creations in a puppet show to entertain us! Check out our ARTS Theater production at http://aps.albertk12.org to see the puppet show. Thanks goes to Tammie Clark for teaching us how to make the soft sculptures at the AAEA conference.
