Art - Room 113


Insect Kingdom Project

Zapata students worked diligently to create larger than life insect sculptures. 6th-8th grade students worked in groups to strategize and tackle the challenge. Each team was responsible for creating their sculptures using only cardboard, newspaper, and tape. Once the foundation was set, each team was tasked to mix their own paper mache clay using a specific recipe. 

A special group of 4th graders were selected to paint the remaining sculptures. The 4th graders had a blast and worked great together. All in all, we know our Zapata Warriors made memories to last a lifetime.

The group would become a major force in the Chicano Art Movement. Hernandez lived in Chicago for many years before moving back to Los Angeles.
