3D Easter Crosses - Textiles
The 3rd Graders created their very own 3D Art Easter Cross Creations. They learned about Recycled Art and how you can create beauty from objects you find all around you. They used wooden sticks from trees to form the cross, straw strings to tie the cross together, a small piece of clay as the base, and pieces of material and ribbon as the drapery over the cross. Each cross was to represent what the artist thought of Easter/ How Easter made them feel. Some artists felt the sad and the darkness of the Easter story so they used dark colored textiles over the horizontal of the cross, and others felt the glory and happiness of the Risen Lord and used bright, shiny colors.For more information on a wonderful textile artist in our region, look up Wayne Hilton, a 3D artist specializing in New Mexico icons! He has been the featured artist inner very own Centennial Library. His exhibit is called "Otra Vez".
