Here are some of the wax sculptures that the morning class created with our Artist in Residence, Deirdre. They turned out so well! They made an armature out of wire first and then covered it with softened wax. They are a bit fragile, so if your child usually goes on the bus we will keep them safe here until you can drop by to pick your child's sculpture up.
The afternoon class tried a different method and made an animal and a human pairing from a fairytale. For example, they made a princess and a dragon or a Goldilocks and a bear. Picture to follow soon! These are a little more stable and we will try wrapping them up and sending them home in tissue boxes. The walkers will simply carry theirs home. Feel free to sign in and drop by the classroom to get your child's art this week if you prefer.
If the sculptures need any repairs or revisions simply place them in a sink or bucket of boiling water and they will soften up and be malleable again. Congratulations to both classes for some great art work!
