Handwork

me doing a rock sculpture

At school, we have a class called handwork.  In handwork, we are making rock sculptures.  In total, everyone has two finished pieces and one that we are currently working .

To carve the rocks, we are using a chisel and a hammer.  This is a photo of me with "Nacho" (the handwork and music teacher) helping me on my rock.  Also in handwork, we have little buddies that we help in handwork every Monday afternoon.

Here is some info about Mayan rock sculptures:

•the sculptures are made with an amazing amount of detail.

•the altars are usually frogs.

•some royal stairways have carvings in them.

•jaguars and musicians are used in a lot of their sculptures.
