The 4th graders did it again...created a magnificent circus out of old telephone wire, bottle caps and socks. Inpsired by the tinkering of the famous american sculptor Alexander Calder, the kids made magic out of junk. Calder, an engineer turned sculptor, said he "thought best in wire". He could work out the mechanics of his world famous large mobiles with little models fashioned out of wire. The kids had a blast letting their imaginations run wild, solve mechanical problems with experimenting and feel accomplished in sharing their creation as a group at our annual Expressions Art Extravaganza!
