Deborah Butterfield Inspires the Third Grade


Students in third grade at Union Ridge have been studying the amazing horses built by Montana based sculptor Deborah Butterfield (see examples here). She builds her sculptures using found materials, usually wood, yet makes them look like they are alive. Each class then worked together to build their own horse, the first of which went out to pasture today. This is a new project for me, and I am just thrilled with what our kids produced! I will add more photos as the herd grows.
