Funded Feb 6, 2022Thank you so much for supporting my Donors Choose fundraiser! We used the materials to supplement found objects in our food sculptures. Students always impress me with their work, but this was possibly the most fun and creative project we did all year. We had all sorts of food represented - many students created cultural dishes, while others chose comfort food or food they eat a lot.
Along with the materials your donations provided, students utilized found objects like bottle caps, recycled cups, yarn scraps, felt fabric, and more. One of my favorite projects a student created was a "study scene," using one of my own notebooks from my teacher prep program as well as notes from her classes and candy wrappers. She used clay to make gum and fruit snacks, and used resin to create a "spill" onto the notebook.
As we wrap up the school year, students are continuing to use the materials in their final projects. One student is currently working on a "creepy cereal" sculpture, using the clay to sculpt individual tiny bones ("cereal") and we will be using the resin to create "milk." Thank you again, so much!”
With gratitude,
