The second grade at Elizabeth's school has been studying Africa this quarter. She has learned about the geography, topography, animals, customs, celebrations, food, animals, dance and music. In addition to a play on Sundiata (blogpost coming soon!), the main project in Elizabeth's Africa study at school was to create a 3d rendering of the African animal of her choice. Her choice, as she is loving all things primate recently, was the vervet monkey.After choosing Sculpey for a medium, Elizabeth twisted, shaped, rolled, squeezed and smushed her monkey into form, then painted it with acrylics. She created a good likeness, if I say so myself.

You couldn't tell which was the photo and which was the rendering, could you?
I couldn't tell which monkey was the "real" one. ;) She did an excellent job on the monkey sculpture...very cute!
