Mrs. Grasso's Melting Clocks

Congratulations to Mrs. Grasso's class for earning three golden brooms and creating Salvadore Dali inspired melting clocks. This 5th grade class got to use records melted in the oven at 200 degrees, acrylic paint, and sharpie markers to create surrealist clocks. This project was made possible by your donations to the upcycling art center! Thank you for all the used record donations.
