Erosion Relief sculpture

 The 4th graders I've been working with just completed their collaborative erosion relief sculpture project. It's all made out of colored corrugated cardboard and lots of hot glue. They've been learning about water and its effect on landmasses and vice versa. They learned about contour and concentric shapes- we imagined our scissors on the paper were like the erosive forces of nature on rock. Each layer in the relief sculpture is connected by coiled paper columns.

Tomorrow is my last residency day before winter break. There have been lots of crafty things going on around here (including a slight origami obsession).
