Here’s a sneak peak of the progress our Printmaking students are making on their projects.
The Puppets and Creepy Dolls class continued to be hard at work this week. Clay sculptures have been baked and are ready to paint. Papier-mâché halves have been joined, and more layering has been employed for the heads. Bodies are also being constructed. And soon string puppets will be able to bend appendages. We’ll keep you posted!
Please welcome our new Intro to Engineering instructor, Becca (Miklaus) Allred. After Becca graduated from our very own high school of CHS in 2006, she went off to earn a B.S. in Chemistry from the College of William and Mary and then a master’s degree from Yale University in physical chemistry.
Becca competed at the varsity level in Track and Field in college, and she now enjoys taking in quiet hiking trails and living so close to the Virginia Triple Crown.
After reading their first book in Spanish I, the class put this together as part of a book project for “Llama en Lima” by Katie A. Baker.
The Puppets and Creepy Dolls class was busy at work, either layering the papier-mâché into the casts, or using Sculpey clay to create sculptures.
