As the 5th graders did an author study of William Steig in their ELA class, they learned about the artist William Steig in the Artroom. The students then got to create a storybook "bottle figure" based on their favorite Steig character. The base is made from a recycled water bottle and newspaper, first covered in plaster and then adorned with paint, fabric and other assorted collage supplies.

After studying the Native American Culture, the boys of 9C each worked on a Totem face made from big canisters and odds and ends covered in newspaper and papier mache. They painted each face and then we stacked it together for results they were very proud of.
