The teacher came up with a lot of waste material from somewhere, stored in the corner of the classroom we were using. We did not know that these were the materials we would turn into art.
When each group decided on the piece they wanted to make, we first discussed which materials we would make the body of each animal out of. The teacher gave us suggestions, such as making the crab legs out of straws because straws can bend into leg-like shapes. We used a toilet paper roll for the giraffe’s neck because it’s very long, and a table for the main part of the body and legs. We used cotton for the wool on sheep and other assorted materials. Once we prepared the materials, we began construction.
We encountered little challenges while creating our pieces, such as difficulties sticking the crab legs on. We would stick them on and they would fall off, this happened several times until we finally got them to stick. We did not have much of an issue with anything else, except when the giraffe was too tall and we had to ask the teacher to glue his head on. 
Let’s take a look behind the scenes at these pieces of art!! |
