I love this sandcastle paper mache project made by Aleah. I like the way it looks aesthetically. More important, I like how Aleah grew in her creative thinking and self-confidence as she worked through the process of making it. Some people think art is an easy subject. In actuality, art is hard work! There are no right answers. There is not a list of things to memorize. You have to work through a problem and create a solution. It is a difficult process. For this particular project, students learned about statues in our community. They were given the task to design, construct, paper mache, and paint a statue that represents where we live. I believe Aleah's project fulfills the requirements very nicely. |
