Last semester, the Ojeda Afterschool Art Club created a giant papier-mache book out of styrofoam, papier-mache, and paint. We discussed the importance of using recycled and "upcycled" materials to help reduce waste and take care of our environment. The students had fun exploring the Art element texture and form. They all collaborated together and we surprised our school librarian at Family Night!
The project was student centered, they came up with the idea to turn the styrofoam into a giant book to give the the school library, and they came up with the design and slogan "Once Upon a Gator" as well. The book is now a permanent installation in the library that will hopefully remain for years to come!
