| 1/4 of Art Club in their sweet shirts we screen printed last week. One of these days I'll remember to take a picture before we get busy making awesome art. |
Our first project is animal head sculptures made out of paper mâché. They'll eventually be mounted to boards I cut out of MDF. They'll look similar to taxidermy mounts. The pictures below are a few in-process works.

Love the t-shirts! I hope you post the finished paper mache heads.
May I ask your criteria when having the students apply to Art Club?
Sure. I had each student fill out an application that included several questions about why that individual should be in Art Club. I also made it clear to them that their classroom behavior was a part of it. I had way more than 20 applications, so it was incredibly difficult to choose.
Teaching Art Club is great, isn't it? I have the opportunity to run 7 groups at 4 schools, 4 afternoons a week. We've never done Art Club shirts- maybe next year! :D
We happen to be doing paper mache now too- we're making "Vases with Faces" this time around. Paper mache is a favorite every year- lots of work, but worth it! :D
How did you construct your animal heads?
It really is a lot of fun. The armature of the animal heads is just crumpled newsprint and masking tape.
