The girls brought them home from school today. They were also wearing construction-paper Indian headresses, so I assumed that they were something to do with Thanksgiving.
However, Catherine said they were volcanoes. And said something about "vava". I asked her if she meant the red part was lava, and she corrected me, "No, vava."
Then she instructed me on the names of the other components. "This is called a tube. This is called tape."
Um, that didn't shed any light on it for me. Anyone out there have any ideas?Naturally, I exclaimed about how wonderful they are. Whatever they are.
Holly wins! I asked the teacher today what exactly they were and she said they were just experimenting with three-dimensional building. So it's Modern Art. Perhaps if I had an actual formal education in Art like Holly I wouldn't be such a diehard rigid representationalist. Not every work of art has to "be" something else, right?

How cute! I have no idea either, but I am betting if you guess you would be wrong.
My son made me a puppet of myself one year by papermacheing a head onto a toilet paper tube. I uwrapped it Christmas morning and pulled out what looked like a big penis with a fuzzy black wig and pipe cleaner glasses. It apparently was a replica of me, although I don't wear glasses...... I think my lip is still bleeding from biting down to hold in the laughter.
Oh that's easy Nancy..those are crack pipes they're all the rage now in the kiddy room...:-))
Nancy, when it defies explanation - just call it Modern Art and admire it!
(Then ask the teacher the next time you see her cause I would like to know what those were too...)
Oh that's easy! Those are melted snowmen.
No need to thank me, I'm here to help.
I was going to say Totem Poles???? :-)
Is "VaVa" an impressionistic architect??? Save them. For. Ever.
