Using his wild enthusiasm, his extensive collection of wood blocks of all shapes and sizes, and his incredible designer's mind, Blake treated Brunswick's 3rd Graders to a slide show of his own work and a day of wood block sculpture and mosaic.
Blake came early and arranged tables so everyone had a work station with their own glue bottle, their own 10x10 blank plywood to build on, and plenty of elbow room to move around. In addition, each class made one or two group pieces that everyone contributed to.
The students learned about design, collaboration, patience, balance and cooperation. And in the end they each had a beautiful wall hanging to inspire their creativity for years to come.
They all said they couldn't wait to go home and collect things from their yards and closets to make more art!
