I used food foil with the kinder class and a couple of lower grade classes. The little kids made all the same kind of animal. The older groups had more choices and made more difficult animals. There were a lot of turtles in some groups! Some animals were small and others where quite large!!! Some students had great difficulty manipulating the newspaper and tape into a suitable form whereas other students took to it readily and were more comfortable being independent problem solvers. I used balsa wood to mount a few of the animals that needed a stand to stick the legs into. However, I ran out of these bits...I may try poking holes in tuna fish cans next. You could also use large bits of stiff styrofoam to stick the legs into. Do not paint it with spray paint, however, as this releases harmful fumes. We used hot glue to stick some of the legs and body parts together. Students had a hard time managing their tape use!!

I wish I were able to work with you in person to help enrich these children's lives, but if you are able to get something from this blog that is almost as good. If you do complete any of my projects I'd love to see some photos!Anne Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01176711200424225567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241528798244317112.post-63803270661085725382013-06-12T15:00:29.053-07:002013-06-12T15:00:29.053-07:00Anne-

It's a gem mine for art teachers; your projects are so creative and do a wonderful job of encouraging imagination and play. I can't wait to see what my students create from this project for our "sculpture" theme in July!<br /><br />I work for Arts For Life, a North Carolina-based arts education non-profit. Our teachers work with kids and families in the hospital who are facing serious illnesses, including cancer and blood disorders. We have some truly talented young artists with very unique viewpoints. You can check out some of their work at our website: aflnc.org<br /><br />Thanks again for your generous and creative contributions to the arts education community, and for the inspiration you are spreading to these very special young folks!

If not I helped them to tie on new pieces. Anything that looked ratty at the end we either trimmed off or glued down.

This year I finally have the space to do it again (on a small scale) but no kiln anymore, so we are experimenting with lots of processes like this! (Honestly, I was never that crazy about clay and 30 students per class in a 900+ kid school anyway, haha!)
