2nd graders are making furniture!

I
This is one of my all time favorite 2nd grade projects, based on the artistic furniture of Rochester, NY artist Wendell Castle.  It requires massive amounts of tubes (400 small, 200 large this year) but I love projects that involve creating with recycled materials.  Students are required to develop a theme for their chairs, and choose art elements to effectively make the theme come to life.  Work in progress is pictured here - more to come when they are finished!
