Landforms: a school assignment to pick 3 types of landforms, do a little research on each, write a little paragraph on each, and draw, paint or sculpt each. We made it a family project and had a lot of fun. Left side: Joshua's Volcano, River, and Mesa (a mountain with a flat top). Right side: Abigail's Plain, River, and Mountain. More views next.

Landscape by Joshua and Dad, October 2005. The 3D shapes were built by layering cardboard, then covering with crinkled tinfoil. I wish I had taken pictures as we went.

Landscape by Abigail and Mom, October 2005. On the left, you can see a second layer of cardboard that raises the plain a little above the river. Non-drying, pre-colored clay was applied on top.

Closeup of Mesa. All landscaping - trees and shrubs - done by Joshua.

Closeup of Mountain. Jennifer's craftmanship. Abigail did the plain and river.
