Art 2 students exploring alternative materials for their artwork

The Art 2 students were challenged to find and use alternative materials to create their next artwork.  Students were encouraged to consider materials that were cheap or free, found in large quantities and could be assembled or manipulated in some way.  One student wanted to explore rice, another wanted to try paper clips and another wanted to collaborate with her grand father and glue a bunch of colored pencils together and use that "block" to create a turned wood vase or bowl.  She later changed her mind and wanted to use nails and yarn.

Seeing if we can glue rice to a balloon surface

Does this smell funny? Here you smell it and see.

Which glue works better for this, super glue or Elmers?

Maybe if we use Elmers to attach it to the balloon and then coat it with super glue?  Experiment and see what happens.

Weaving and linking paper clips together to create a woven metal cube.

Nailed it!

Drive in your nails and then use yarn or string to create your design.
