Mrs. Lawson's art classes have been doing their attachment challenge, a precursor to opening up the Sculpture Studio for 3rd, 4th & 5th grade. Students were not allowed to use glue or staples; they had to rely on 2 pieces of tape & other forms of attachment. This was a timed challenge & they were given a prompt to base their sculpture off of. This is third grade's first time doing this challenge. Pictured are students from Mrs. Albrecht's class.
