Do you ever think about what it takes for an artist to create a larger-than-life sculpture? Kids examine the piece, Scottish Angus Cow and Calf as it relates to scale, scale conversion, and artistic craft. They then use scale conversions to up size a token from the game Monopoly. They use paper mache techniques to create their life-sized game piece.
