Clay Creatures

One of the 7th grade pod classes here at Lincoln Middle School created a collaborative artwork to put in the community garden. This class is also planting different plants in the garden in their science class, so it was fun to get them out in the garden for art. It was hard to say what the students liked better - making the creatures or "planting" them outside!
The sculptures were "creatures" of their choice. The project was inspired by the legend of the "Green Man" that is commonly seen as a decoration in gardens. It was also inspired by totem poles that are a traditional art of North Pacific Native American tribes.
