 Welcome to Morton Junior High School, home of the Junior Potters.
The Red Team tried their hands at “supersizing” their art projects, in the style of sculpture artist, Claes Oldenberg. After discussing works by the artist, students chose food, sport, and household items to make “monumental.” Once arranged in vignettes the sculptures made interesting and fun additions to the hallways of MJHS.
Click here to see a slide show of the art projects.
