I went in this week spoke with Gary about the lesson. We are going to postpone it until next week to coincide with the "Day of the Dead" holiday. The project has evolved many times since the initial idea. The students will be creating a wire armature and then use an air dry material such as Model Magic or something similar. They will be modeled after the Day of the Dead skeletons. The students don't get to do too many sculptural projects outside of water clay.
I had my trailer sculpture in the car and Gary wanted me to set it out for students to view it. It was nice having a discussion with the high school students about my work and my intentions. One student, creator of the fish and shark pieces, is wanting some help to "gore up", as Gary says by airbrushing and possibly finding other materials to create a better effect or power for his piece. I look forward to working with him because I love airbrushing and have yet to have the opportunity to teach it to someone.
Next week we will begin the sculpture lesson. I will record what aspects of the introduction works and what doesn't.
