i was asked to do some kind of papier mache' demonstration for the event. i had taught some classes on the medium to children over the summer.

I thought the ideal thing to do would be to create some kind of "one shot" piece, meaning papering the entire work at the one day event.  colored paper would be used as the final layer to eliminate the need for painting... 

the subject matter -"art dog". a bulldog -type beast depicted sitting down with a lot of character.

once again i used chicken wire reinforced with nine gauge wire to withstand abuse - i was anticipating some help from any children (or adults) who felt like getting their hands messy.

art dog is currently drying at windhover center for the arts, on sheboygan street, in fond du lac, wisconsin. stop by if you're in the area!
