Fifth Grade Stick Animals

Fifth grade students learned about the contemporary sculptor Debra Butterfield during this unique and very earth friendly project. All students were required to bring in a small amount of natural items to add to our community collection of sticks and stuff. The next step was to sketch and create their animals. Students learned how to use coping and hack saws, glue guns and small hand tools for cutting and bending. The creations had to be some type of animal. real or imaginary that could stand on its own.  Despite a few hot glue gun burns and small cuts along the way the students were really excited about this hands on project.
