Gloucester Daily Times: Museum show to pair sculptures of Cape Ann students, artist
Sculptures by Cape Ann eighth-graders will be incorporated in an upcoming exhibit at the Cape Ann Museum.
Each student was asked to portray themselves doing their favorite activity. Cape Ann Museum education manager Miranda Aisling visited Manchester Essex Regional, Rockport and O’Maley Innovation middle schools twice this school year to talk with eighth-graders about the work of renowned Cape Ann sculptor Walker Hancock (1901-1998) and to teach them how to create their own wire armature and then cover it in clay. Each student was asked to portray themselves doing their favorite activity.
