Teacher recommendations:
“The students just loved learning new techniques with the air dry clay and sharing all their favorite books with Laura. Their imaginations ran wild and we were left with a gorgeous display mingling ART and ELA that the entire building has enjoyed.” Corinna Scinnerer, Teacher, Zoller Elementary

RESIDENCY PROGRAMS:
- STORIES AND SCULPTURES
This residency project links the curriculums of Art and Language Arts. Beginning with a creative visualization, students will then sculpt a character from their imagination. The art will be the starting point for a creative story. (available as a LIBRARY PROGRAM). What an amazing story starter project. We branched off with “What ifs” of all the characters we created. An imagination explosion!
- TOWER OF CHARACTER This residency project links the curriculums of Art, Language Arts, History, stories, and ART! Students will use air dry clay to create a character from a book they have read or written! Then all the sculptures will be added to a display tower. Great whole-school/500 students celebration project!
- CHARACTER MATTERS
Students create sculptural illustrations of character development concepts. Final art creates a banner illustrating positive character traits, (i.e. Respect, Responsibility, Perseverance, caring, friendship…) Instead of focusing on bullying, we focus on the positive! Great whole school celebration!
{ This program needs Parent Helpers for assembly each day to keep up with the kids! }
- KID’S CHOICE AWARD!
My most popular project! The book award residency project links the curriculums of Art and Language Arts. Students use the design skills they learn in art class to demonstrate their knowledge of books! They will create Clay relief “medals” and certificates in honor of their favorite book choices. (available as a LIBRARY PROGRAM) The final work is not only visually beautiful, but it is an interactive book recommendation. Sharing what we love about the books we love!
