Play Set Progress

Students have accomplished a lot in just over one week.  Two eight foot seated Pharoah figures are made.  One is finished, and here you can see the second figure getting a base coat.

The large Sphinx is getting a base coat of beige paint today also.  When we are finished at the end of this week we will have a small celebration before moving on to our next project. 

Interesting random fact about Ancient Egypt: 

The workers who built the pyramids were paid in onions and beer.

First Projects

Pottery I Students began the semester by making a paper sculpture on the second day of school.  They drew a word (a noun) from a basket and were given about 15 minutes to sculpt the word from newspaper and masking tape only.  Pottery II students filled the word basket with difficult words to sculpt-like campfire.
