Percy Priest Elementary: 2nd Grade Sculpto-Pictoramas

Tina Atkinson & Stephanie Godlove

Second graders created sculpto-pictoramas inspired by Red Grooms' installation at the Hudson River Museum called "The Bookstore". After exploring the characters in the piece, students discovered that the exaggerations made them more interesting and entertaining then they would if they were more realistic. The resulting paper sculpture self-portraits would look right at home in Red Grooms' bookstore!
