Students will be enabled to explore a new medium and manipulate it into sculptures for expressing a new vision of themselves and their environment. Projects will include casting arms and hands, designing masks and molding action figures with wire armatures.
Students will be better prepared to compete for scholarships by being exposed to higher-level, challenging materials. Students from Aransas ISD are accustomed to the saying, "Rockport Strong".
Post Harvey, students were required to return to an art classroom that had been badly damaged. Past art was lost, students operated out of cardboard boxes and supplies were limited to paper and pencil.
Sculpting materials were gathered through tree limbs that were blown down from the storm, relief sculptures from cardboard scraps and carvings from Styrofoam packing blocks. Making art with "nothing" fosters a unique kind of creativity and resilience.
