Our Last School Project before Spring Break – Create a Tombstone for an Historical Figure.

Include a Famous Quote on the Tombstone.

Our Historical Figure???

Joseph M. Montgolfier, Designer of the First Hot Air Balloon.

1740 – 1810

“We Will Build a Machine that will Fly.”

I know…Who???  But oh well, he’s the pick.  And We’ll Make Him Proud(!)

An Amazon shipping box and a lid is the form.

Love the Hot Air Balloons rising from the Tomb…(a Cardboard Drink Carrier)

Acrylic Paints bring it All to Life.

A Little Creepy, but a Great Sculptural Success…

Ah, the Creation Process…there’s the Magic!
