Teachers Create “Trashy” Animal Sculptures
Third through eighth grade teachers created animal sculptures from trash as part of Greenville County Schools’ Summer Academy. The workshop was designed for classroom teachers and art teachers who wanted to be creative with junk and discover ways to recycle materials at their schools. Participants designed charming animals from common trash in an inexpensive classroom project that students will love. The session was presented by Greer Middle School art teacher Louise Rogers.
