Arts @ Large: Hawley Environmental School Project

As part of the Arts @ Large program, teachers, students and artists at Hawley Environmental School in Milwaukee have developed an amazing project honoring the world's endangered species. Through the World Wildlife Fund, each K-5th grade classroom has adopted an endangered species and worked with Sculptor Steve Wirtz to create paper mache animals to represent each unique classroom.

Each wing in the school has adopted one of these endangered animal sculptures as their own mascot (clown fish, cougar, polar bear, platypus, whooping crane, grey wolf and panda). Hawley purchased video cameras for the 4th and 5th grade classrooms. Students worked with Videographer Joseph Strand to document the endangered animal project and to interview thier peers while learning about the art of film-making.
