Very fun project and one that the kids took to heart. They really individualized their projects which always makes it fun. The construction of the sculptures was a simple process. We formed the figures out of wire, molding the shape we wanted the figure to take. Then, we built them up with aluminum foil to give them a little more ‘form’. To seal the deal, we used paper mache to harden the sculptures to help the hold their form. Once the mache had hardened, with the limit of using only three colors of paint (of their choice) the sculptures were decorated to their mind’s content. Take a look at how they turned out!
I thought this project was a success. The kids did great!
