7th Grade Paper Mache Oaxacan Animals

Earlier this year the 7th grade learned about Oaxacan Animal Sculptures.


Produced in Southern Mexico, these animal sculptures are created using carved, sanded, and painted wood. Usually the process is done by different family members! These animal sculptures are painted bright colors with different patterns. They are very eye-catching and fun!

7th graders were inspired by this art form and created their own animal sculptures using paper mache, paint, and an assortment of materials including feathers and googly eyes! Students were able to create a figure of an animal found in nature or a fantasy creature of their own!

Check out some of this great work!



 


Awesome work!!!
