Our talented middle school art students in Mr. Nkana class have been hard at work, bringing holiday cheer to the art room! 🎄🖌️ Using deconstruction and model planning techniques, they've crafted incredible cardboard replicas of some of their favorite holiday foods and desserts. 🍰🍭
This festive project is inspired by the incredible work of artist and sculptor Claes Oldenburg, whose unique perspective and larger-than-life creations have left a lasting impact on the art world.
The dedication and creativity these students have poured into their pieces are truly impressive! Each creation is a testament to their artistic growth and the joy of expressing themselves through their work. 🎨💖
