Reception for Artists of "Cardboard Zoo"

Come and meet the student artists behind our 'Cardboard Zoo'!

The creatures you've seen stalking the bookshelves of the Main Library were designed by ninth-grade students of Virginia Zimmermann's 3-D Foundations class at Fairfield Ludlowe High School.  Using paper, recycled cardboard and glue guns, the students created the large, three-dimensional animals over a six-week period.  They were required to use principles of anatomy, structural engineering and 3-D design to construct the magnificent creatures you see, including a vibrant grasshopper, majestic moose, and life-like hippo.

Please view the various animals in our Adult Reading Room, Main Lobby, Teen Room and Children's Room, and then come by and meet the artists at 6:00pm on March 9 in our Periodicals Room.  Light refreshments will be served.
