Mandolorian Helmet (Randolorian)

This was a fun and challenging project! I've never worked so creatively with cardboard before and I discovered that it can do so much more than I expected. Being stuck at home during social distancing, I've had some time to try projects out of my comfort zone... this is one of them.

I followed this tutorial: https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-cardboard-costume-helmet/ and kind of made it my own. I like to call it a Randolorain helmet...

Happy Earth Day!

Today is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Being stuck inside, we were missing our local forest. So we built it using recycled cardboard and paper mache.

Here are some photos of our neighbourhood forest building project:

Environmental Art Project!

The Eco Club at my school recently completed this awesome project building some robots out of cardboard to encourage students and staff to properly dispose of used markers and old batteries.

The first robot is Marker-bot and kids are encouraged to feed it old markers.

The next one is Zap-bot and kids can feed it old batteries. 

This kind of project is great because it's a fun way to raise awareness about how to properly dispose of certain products and gets kids asking why. It is also an interdisciplinary project that combines visual arts and social studies with a co-curricular club.

Cardboard House Exhibition

I just saw this on the Ontario Art Education Association's Facebook page, it looks like so much fun, and definitely a good STEAM project idea:
