Ending the year with 3D Fun!

East Wood's 4th graders are "wrapping" up the year with plaster sculpture action figures.  Using plaster cloth, students are wrapping pipe cleaners to form interesting figures in motion.  After studying Ohio's Serpent Mound, 5th graders were inspired to make snake sculptures out of paper mache'.  Enjoy viewing some of our students hard at work.

It's Up!!

We finally hung the East Wood's Puzzle Project.  Just a few more pieces to add and it will be complete!  It was so much fun watching students and faculty stop at the piece to check it out.  Our students are very proud of their work.

The East Woods Puzzle "Peace" Project

Check out our latest artistic endeavor!  Every student and staff member of the East Wood's school community was invited to make a puzzle piece.  We discussed how people are like puzzle pieces. Each person is unique, valuable and has a specific role or purpose to play in life.  A puzzle is not complete if one piece is missing!  The theme of our artwork includes all kinds of ideas about a peaceful school community.  I will be sure to post pictures of the finished, displayed collaborative piece.

Chihully Chandelier Project

Check out what my fifth graders created this Fall!  The Chihully inspired, upcycled sculpture is on display in the East Woods cafeteria.  Isn't is awesome?!
