We have some wirey students!

This week the first graders and kindergartners are learning about the artist Alexander Calder and his wire sculptures. Calder loved bending wire into different things. Some of his favorite things were animals and the circus. After looking at Mr. Calder's work, we started our own wire sculptures. The students could chose any subject matter they wanted. There was a wide range of sculptures. Shown below are sculptures of a penguin, glasses, a basketball hoop, necklace, handcuffs, a zebra that stands on its own, hula hoop, and a bug antenna to an imaginary bug named "Hawk Screecher!"
