Throughout the month of March, students of all ages were hard at work making some rather large creations. The whales, one bowhead and two orcas, and two polar bears, not only helped them learn about ocean ecosystems but also gave the opportunity for them to get messy creating something truly unique. Each whale was constructed from recycled materials with the Bowhead whale construction led by Dean Bareham, artist director of Green Fools Theatre.
Once a rough skeleton was constructed, the students packed it with paper to round out its shape. A combination between found object and paper mâché were used to create the skin of the whales which was then painted.
