In the morning, the first project that we worked to put together was one of the ramen bowls. The bowl of ramen was made using the spray foam, which acted as the filling and we had topped it with previously carved out ramen toppings. We had learned that for the next bowl it would be best for the filling to be scrap material instead of being made entirely out of spray foam to be more conservative of materials.

Art Car 2024: Day 5

Cape started working on the back part of the big fish that goes on the roof of the car, and we’re starting to lay out the food on a tracer drawing of the car roof. In the afternoon, we basically did the same thing and picked up where we left off. Some students started making the last couple of foods that we’re adding to the roof. We put paint and gesso on the remaining food. A group of students went to get supplies to make lanterns for the car. --Mia, class of 2027, photos by Mia with the exception of photo 2 which is by Specialist Sloan

Art Car 2024: Day 4

As the last day of the week and the half way point of our project draws to a close, everybody is feeling optimistic. The food pieces are almost all painted and looking amazing. The manikin limbs are (getting) ready to be attached and everyone is very enthusiastic. We (have been) very productive. (Some) amazing painting has happened, and we are all excited for next week and attaching everything. --Eli, class of 2027, photos by Eli, edited by Specialist Sloan
