Emily's Projects

Emily had two big projects due right after Spring Break. They both kept her extremely busy! She had to make a life size person to use while she presented a report on ancient Rome. She chose to make a giant doll. I was glad a knew how to sew and had made several dresses in my life! I thought she did a good job.

The second big project Emily had was to design and build a house out of Popsicle sticks. She was very excited about this project. Her art teacher encouraged them to be creative when designing their houses. After eight weeks of working on them at school they brought them home over Spring Break to complete. By the time the project came home Emily was not near as excited about it. She had the roof, flooring, and landscaping left to complete at home. After a lot of hard work it was complete and she got a 100% on the project. We were all impressed and proud of her hard work. We also learned if our other kids take art not to be quite so creative in the shape. Emily said she wished she wasn't the one who always had to figure these things out for everyone else!
