Miniature Circus (due 2/13)

Together the class will make a miniature working circus. Students will work in pairs to make miniature circus acts. You will perform your act on critique day. You may use any materials that you think are appropriate for your idea. We will set up on a table in front of the black wall, so scale your pieces accordingly. Describe your act in the comments section, and make sure not to do something someone has already signed up for. UPDATE If you would like to include music, check out the 500 circus songs you can play on lala.com. You can play any of these from the teacher's laptop during your critique. http://www.lala.com/browse/genre/Children/Circus#browse/genre/Children/Circus/lalaListens7/pager/songs The class account info is: login nwssculpture9@gmail.com password: circus
