Plaster Carving

Today students continued on their Plaster Carving.  The Goal: Make our object look like it did not come from a block. Large files and tools.  Over the next few days well work on details/ sanding and small carving of intricate spaces. They can choose to varnish or paint their completed sculptures.  Finally we will mount them to wooded blocks. Plaster Unit Plan and Rubric

I just love looking at these ancient rocks. What interesting markings.  I enjoy comparing architecture and designs from around the world.  Did you know there are similarities in different structures and designs in different countries.  These below are from Knowth and Newgrange in Ireland.  I recommend anyone to visit Ireland, so many great places to visit. 

I wanted to share these two photos I took this morning the first on the way to work, and the other out the window from my classroom.  Both unedited.  The interesting thing is that they were only taken about 15 min. from each other. The fog made for great photos and depending where I was a totally different feel.
