Take a Wild Guess...


The question on everyone's mind:
"what will be in the art room this year?" We've seen a giant tree, an up-scaled dragon, and a wacky bird ... (see here)

Our challenge: 1.) create a sculpture using recycled materials, 2.) have every student in the school contribute by adding their own piece to the installation.

Thanks to up-coming fourth-grader Chris D., the first part was solved last June -- when he lugged in a tremendous, 10-foot cardboard tube that came with his family's new carpet.

Well, here are some pictures of the construction process ... can you predict what it will be? ... go on, take a wild guess.

    Hi Ms. Palefsky,
    I think the lion will look super great when all the scales are on it. The mane will be very colorful. I love art-it's my favorite subject in school!
