My Project
We need sculpture materials (glue, foam, and tape.) to construct the cat bus, from the movie My Neighbor Totoro. It will be a life-sized art installation outside of school, where students can hangout in during lunch time. This project will help bring joy and excitement to the school culture. Many of my students love making art pieces inspired by Studio Ghibli movies. Imagine something that you might find in a theme park.
Our 3D department will be constructing the sculpture, but everyone in the school will benefit from it.
Also, this project will utilize recycled materials like wood pallets, crates and plastic bottles.
More than half of students from low‑income households
