Conservation in Clay
Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise
Sariah Monfared took the white clay and began to bring her sketch of a skunk to life in the form of a sculpture. Does it really look like it? Monfared said after someone noted the shape of the wire armature that anchors the piece looked similar to her sketch.
The Bartlesville High School senior art student was one of several students in instructor Julie Giovannetti s art class who are participating in a collaborative pilot project with the Sutton Avian Research Center and three professional sculptors from the Oklahoma Sculpture Society.
The goal of the Conservation in Clay project is to educate students and the community about the natural world through art.
