Nature's Creatures- Another kind of cylinder animal- First Grade

 

We've created animals from cylinders before, but the cylinder has always stood vertically. How do you create an animal with the cylinder turned horizontally?

There are always multiple ways to make art, what animal sculpture would you like to make?

Sculptures Have a Skin 2nd grade

 

Sculptures have a Skin

In our sculpture studio we make sure our sculptures are finished by adding a "skin." 


 What is a skin? It is something that covers the surface of your sculpture, just like our skin covers our body.
You may want to add color by using paint, colored construction paper, makers, crayons or oil pastels, foil or fabric. 



You may want to use embellishments such as pom poms or beads once your sculpture is dry.

World Art - Ndeble House Sculpture - 2nd

 Living in South Africa, the Ndebele Nation is an ethnic group that is known for its incredible artistic talent. Using their homes as canvas and studios, the women of this ethnic group create beautiful works of art that have been passed down from generation to generation. Not only do they paint their houses in a unique style, but they also use their homes as studio spaces. At home, they create wearable beadwork like headgear, bracelets, and necklaces.
