New Artslink Displays

Thanks to Ms. Akif for letting me take over the Main Hall display case again. This time I have Shape stitcheries from Ms. Spangler's 2nd grade class and Geometric Form soft sculptures from the 5th grade classes.
 It's a very colorful and tactile display. I wanted to show these 2 projects together since they show the progression from 2D to 3D and are both using fiber art.
 The 5th graders sculptures are arranged by theme: Wild Animals, Birds, and Houses and Machines. They came up with such a variety of arrangements based off of the simple forms!
If I were to do this project again I might limit the color selection so that each person's forms were uniform in color. I think the mixed up colors made it harder for the kids to imagine what their sculptures could become.
Oh well. Next week I'd like to find a place for displaying the 4th grader's lego fraction mosaics and all of the 2nd grader's stitcheries.
