CSMA 1st & 2nd grades Insect Sculptures

Here are some insect sculptures made by first and second graders last summer.

Students started the project by making drawings of the insects in their habitats.





The armatures were built from wire and newspaper combined with masking tape.
This stag beetle was the largest sculpture.
I love all of the detail in the legs!

When students finished their sculptures, they focused on creating the environment where their insects would be found.



This grasshopper was made by a kindergarden student; he joined the class a few days into the project but caught on quickly and really enjoyed it!
