(middle school will be inspired too - can step the
projects down a bit for them).
Leila Galbraith from Australia has just joined out
list...Check out her terra cotta scultpures. Lots of
ideas for your students. I am sure she will be willing
to answer your questions on "how to" do with students.
If any one you do a sculpture project inspired by her
work - do let the list know. I would like to put the
lesson on Incredible Art Department along with a
picture of your student work - and link to Leila's
sculptures.
My high school students would have liked her work (I
did work similar to this -- not as good naturally --
with kids).
I looked at every photo album - the in progress works
were interesting to see as well. You will love the
dragon/gargoyle/fantasy creatures - as well as busts
-animal heads - owls and more. Linda Woods if you are
reading - did you see the mermaids? I'll have to put a
link to those from your image.
Here is Leila's email address sculpi@dodo.com.au
IAD needs some good high school sculpture lessons.
