Henry Hudson’s Half Moon

The students at Blue Mountain Middle School in Cortlandt Manor, NY worked together to design and build their interpretation of Henry Hudson’s Half Moon, April 11-14, 2011. What makes this project most interesting is that it’s the kid’s vision and their hard work that you’re seeing. Artists Larry Moss and Laurie Straus were only on site to teach and coach them through the project.

The student’s original design looked like this:

The final sculpture, four days later, looked like this:
