Explorers' Mission to Mars recycled sculpture was chosen to be in the K-12 Works by Pitt County School's Art Students at the Greenville Museum of Art . A reception was held Tuesday, June 5th at the Greenville Museum of Art for all of the contributing artists. Pictured to the left are two Explorers with Paul Phillips, WC Art Teacher. The exhibit will be up through August 5th. Check it out, if you can! Due to a scheduling change, we had our fun end of the year science art time yesterday. Explorers painted aluminum can flowers to place on their raised beds and to take home as Mother's day gifts. They also made sunprints using various botanical items from the valley. After they were done, they went bug hunting.

For the past two months, Explorers have been working on their entry for the 20th Annual Unnatural Resources Fair competition. The Unnatural Resources Institute hosts the annual fair and competition to inspire people to look at objects in a different light and to recycle. Explorers used cardboard, newspaper, paper tubes, thread spools, foam hose, bottle caps, buttons, etc that were destined for a recycle bin or trash can to create their sculpture of an astronaut holding an American flag and walking its Martian dog. Their entry, "Mission to Mars", was entered in the science category at the fair. They won first place with their entry! Thank you to Mr. Phillips and Ms. Moore for their assistance with this project. Note that we were so busy constructing cubes and covering them with paper mache that we forgot to document all of the steps and all of the Explorers helping. We will work on doing a better job next time.
