You can\u2019t help but notice the walking and talking art in VBMS.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe talked about performance art and being able to hear and having a mouth area to speak,\u201d said art teacher Leah Kruger. \u201cSome were more successful with that than others.\u201d<\/p>\n The students acknowledged there were challenges to completing the sculptures.<\/p>\n \u201cWe forgot parts,\u201d said seventh-grader Ellie Calkin, whose group studied and created Salvador Dali. \u201cWe forgot the ears at one point, and we said, \u2018Oh right, ears.\u2019 So we had to make all that, but I feel like it came together in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n Calkin explained how she and her group members incorporated their research into Dali\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know how he has the melting clock picture? We put clocks on his mustache to resemble one of his most famous pieces of art,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Provow noted most groups added extra details or made little props.<\/p>\n The representation of Vincent Van Gogh is missing a piece of one ear and the head of Deborah Butterfield is covered in sticks to represent her use of stray wood in sculptures.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
