Description: Sandy the Sandhill Crane: We chose to make a Sandhill Crane because they are very common in Florida, yet, we believe, underrated and underappreciated. Because we want people to appreciate these beautiful animals now, and in the future, we made this sculpture to draw attention to this creature. We liked getting to spend time with each other and getting to see our art teacher for extra time on Mondays. We feel it is helpful to our environment to use stuff that would typically be thrown away because it leads to a healthier planet and cuts down on pollution. During this we learned a lot about teamwork, perseverance, and about editing our work to make it the best it can be.
