8th Grade Monster Update

So we are FINALLY starting to come to an end with this paper mache monster project. I have come to terms realizing that this *might* not have been a great project to do with classes that are on an A/B Day schedule. This project which usually takes 3 weeks has taken this class up to a month and a half to finish. And as for this 9 weeks, this is the only grade they have!!! And we only have 3 more weeks left till Christmas break! EEK!

So here are a few of the final products. Will be posting more when they are all finally complete. I can not get over how awesome some of them look. 

Love the green and blue colors on this happy dragon!

This little thing will have to have her foot hot glued on her. No biggie. 

Loving the small teeth. 

Laterz!

8th Grade Paper Mache Monsters: The Beginning

Fall is my favorite season for several reasons, a huge one being HALLOWEEN!! My favorite holiday! :) The past 2 years I have done a paper mache monster project around Halloween with my older kids. This is by far my most favorite project I have ever done with a class. Our 8th Grade A class just began their project today and I can not wait to post more pictures of them on here!

Before I take any pictures, I wanted to share the artist who began my inspiration for this. His name is Dan and he is a wonderful sculpture artist who has bombarded YouTube with so many cool videos of his work. My class loves him!

Below are some YouTube videos of his work, I will be posting some pictures of my previous high school student monster sculptures. They are fantastic!

Happy Wednesday!
