Second graders at Reiche Community School recently wrapped up a Side x Side program that was led by teaching artist Nance Parker and integrated with a science and literacy unit on pollinators. The program kicked off last fall with an introduction to public art and animal sculpture through a field trip to the Western Promenade to view Chris Miller’s sculpture, “Carousel Cosmos,” made possible by TEMPOart. Students wrote about the field trip in journals and this spring, chose pollinators to research. They then worked with Parker to do scientific drawings of their chosen pollinators and create painted papier-mâché sculptures of them. The final sculptures were mounted on sticks and exhibited during an Art Night at the school.
