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! |
