Exploring Endangered Species
Project Description
There are endangered species all around the world. We may have heard of tigers, elephants, rhinos, and even pandas needing our help. But do you know there are plants and animals in our own state of South Carolina that also are at risk of disappearing forever?
In this activity, led by Visual Arts Teaching Artist Daphne Cuadrado Andino, students will practice soft research skills to learn about an endangered species in South Carolina and then learn how to sculpt it from clay!
Suitable for grades 4-12.
