If you look at the blog post from April 3rd, you will find the lesson plan for the fabulous projects you are about to see. To sum it up:
"Through our experiences with mixed media sculpture, we know that it takes
perseverance to make things stay together. Sometimes it is frustrating when our ideas don’t work out the
way we’ve planned. Are there advantages and disadvantages to things falling apart?"
We looked at the work of artists Andy Goldsworthy (left) and Patrick Dougherty (below).
“When I make a work, I often take it to the very edge of its collapse and it’s a very beautiful balance.”
– Andy Goldsworthy

“The greatest glory in
living lies not in never
falling, but in rising
every time we fall.”
― Nelson Mandela
We considered if time changes art. Below: The Temple of Poseidon, Athens
Best of all, we built!
In addition, we glazed our ceramics from our second class with the help of Emma, a MassArt ceramics and art education student. We knew that some pieces might break in the kiln but that we could glue them.
I came up with a new take on the job chart. It's that string thing below with the name tags.
Everyone was so efficient at clean up, I looked like this:
Thank you!!!
