Instructional Ideas
- Create your own presentation so your class can view these pieces in the detail they are meant to be seen in
Classroom Considerations
- Note that the artist's style is hyperrealistic—the sculptures are true to life and may appear strange to some individuals
- It is unlikely that pupils will be able to achieve the level of realism present in the model sculptures; emphasize the task of representing a feeling over realism
