My students have been studying occupations in the real world that utilize art skills. Being in a rural town in a small school district my students did not think drawing and painting would get them many job opportunities, but there are so many art processes/skills out there! These supplies will allow my students to explore the sculptural process of casting and molding. They will learn about Casters and Molders, and what job opportunities they have. My students will be able to do a live casting of their hands with plaster from an alginate powder based mold. Casting and molding are skills that are used in numerous manufacturing and art related occupations.
