In this class, we will investigate animal anatomy and function, starting from the inside out. The skeletons of the animals will be the basis for the armatures of our sculptures. We will look at how animals use their bodies to find food and shelter,and defend themselves from predators. We will use mostly recycled materials to create our own creatures based on the way real animals work! Ages 7 and up. Artist Becca Barnet just completed sculpting and painting elements of the SC Aquarium's "Madagascar Journey" Exhibit. Her work can be seen at the Young Contemporary Show at the City Gallery at the Waterfront for all of June and July.

Got a classroom? Be the star of your school with this student friendly project. We'll make and take "grow boxes", large self watering containers perfect for vegetables. Self-watering pots draw water from a bottom reservoir into the soil without causing the soil to become too wet. Made from 32 gallon plastic storage bins and recycled gallon nursery pots, these environmentally friendly containers can last up to 5 years.
