Tiger, Juggler & Fire breather |
“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All
of the people of the world, I mean everybody.”
- Neil Gaiman
8th
grade “Sculpture and Ceramics” students at Wellesley Middle School created this
work with Mrs. Sturman, Visual Arts Specialist, and student teacher Monique
Schramme of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
The
students were given the theme of “circus”, and as a class, imagined a cast of
dark, fantastic characters specifically for this space. Each student chose one
of these archetypical circus characters to create. The forms are paper maché, made
using wire frames and recycled materials.
We thank
retail property owner EDENS for the unique opportunity to create something
specifically for this space.
