Under Our Big Top

We have been looking at pictures of Calder’s CIRCUS, but today we found this
How cool is that! We were so inspired we decided to make our own circus.

We decided to make our performers out of foil wrapped in masking tape so that we could paint them. and make outfits for them.
I am frightened by the size of this project. Lucky summer is coming so we can move out to the garage if we need to.
I am hoping this project will be ongoing.











ARWEN– I love that Calders parents encouraged his interests at an early age. He is a great, obvious example of an artist that didn’t lose the child in him.
MRS FRENCH–I have an idea book that I write down future projects or ideas or books I want to come back to. That way I don’t forget-it is pretty full!!
CHANIE–Cool I am going to look for the video!
