Jean began by showing slides of work by Alexander Calder, the American artist who built mobiles and stabiles, initially out of paper, then large sheets of steel. She also showed slides of some of her students’ projects from previous years. She then asked students to work in teams of two to three to design and build small, 12-inch tabletop models of their sculpture ideas (see photo below).

One week was set aside for the design, building and painting stages. The models or “prototypes” that were built during this week became the plan for the next five weeks. Students would have to translate their ideas to large sheets of cardboard, cut, glue and tape them together, and finally paint the full-scale sculpture.

They learned the importance of having a good model to help in anticipating some of the problems to come in full-scale construction. Utility knives and box cutters were used to cut and shape the large pieces of cardboard. Tape was used to hold the joints together, while large amounts of glue were used to hold everything in place. Sometimes it was necessary to glue the work upside-down so it would dry with less tension at the joints. Instruction was given to show how to hide the seams and joints, making the craftsmanship first rate.

Changes from the small model were made as the problems of working full-scale developed. Jean also encouraged the students to make the sculpture look interesting from all points of view. This got the students to really think in three dimensions. Tempera paint and papier-mache were used to finish the surface of the sculpture.

The evaluation of the project includes using a sheet to mark the success of the sculpture in each of the categories of Design, Craftsmanship and Expression. These terms are defined as follows.

Selenium

POWER BENEFIT Essential for proper immune function; may reduce the risk of certain cancers; helps rid the body of free radicals.

THE SCIENCE While some people have already crossed paths with selenium, few know how critical it is to overall health, or how agricultural and processing practices degrade food sources of this essential trace mineral. A powerful antioxidant, selenium works especially well with vitamin E to fight damaging free radicals. It’s vital for the immune system, boosting the body’s defenses against bacteria and viruses, and it may reduce cancer risk, particularly in the prostate, colon, and lungs. The National Cancer Institute is currently sponsoring a study on whether supplementing with selenium and vitamin E can help prevent or delay prostate cancer.

Selenium is found in meat, wheat germ, nuts (particularly Brazil nuts), eggs, oats, whole-wheat bread, and brown rice. “But modern farming practices have depleted the soil, so many people don’t get sufficient selenium from their diets anymore,” says Tanya Edwards, M.D., medical director for the Center for Integrative Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. Refining and processing also reduce selenium levels, which is why eating whole, unprocessed, organic food is the best way to obtain the nutrient.

Since this isn’t always possible, Edwards recommends supplementing with selenium, which can be found by itself or in multivitamins. Taking selenium is particularly recommended for people with certain digestive conditions, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

How TO TAKE IT 200 micrograms per day, in combination with vitamin E for best results. Since vitamin C can interfere with the absorption of selenium, take them at separate times.

CAVEATS Over time, high doses (over 900 meg per day) may lead to depression, nervousness, vomiting, and nausea.
