Today students put the final touches on their reptiles. They made geckos, lizards, or chameleons, and had to make theirs an original among similar sculptures. I try hard to design the lessons in all of my art classes in such a way as to really promote the idea that even though we may be making similar works, they should be original. Personal voice in art is something important I think even at this young age.
I will be teaching Sculpture II next semester and please keep in mind as you are helping your student plan their schedule that it is for both continuing artists as well as students that were not able to sign up for the class this semester. The projects don't repeat and if I am teaching a technique that they have learned before, they are simply a little more experienced than the newer students.
