"Circus" in Wellesley Square

8th grade “Sculpture and Ceramics” students at Wellesley Middle School created this work with Mrs. Sturman, Visual Arts Specialist, and student teacher Monique Schramme of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. 

The students were given the theme of “circus”, and as a class, imagined a cast of dark, fantastic characters specifically for this space. Each student chose one of these archetypical circus characters to create. The forms are paper maché, made using wire frames and recycled materials.

We thank retail property owner EDENS for the unique opportunity to create something specifically for this space.
