Cardboard & Paper Mache' Pop Art Sculptures:

The City of Rockville and the Rockville Art League are hosting the annual Rockville Student Art Show this month at the Glenview Mansion Art Gallery.  Three of my students entered artwork in the show, and one received a 3rd place ribbon for the Pop Art sculpture she created in class.  All of the students received a certificate for participating.  My hope is that seeing the success of their peers will encourage more students to participate in contest/exhibitions as an opportunity to showcase their work. I will be on the lookout for upcoming contest/exhibitions in the near future. If you know of any in the area, please feel free to share them with me. The student artists showcased will be in display in the Glenview Gallery until March 27th. I encourage you to take a peak! Below are pictures of some of the 5th grades pop art sculptures, including the sculpture entitled "The Hungry Artist," that won a ribbon.

Teaching Tip: Ross Craft Paper Mache art paste is inexpensive and easy to mix. I called it "slim," because the consistency isn't like the traditional paper mache mixture made of flour and water. The kids seemed to like that.
