Soap and Popsicle Stick Art
By Colleen Messina
  

1     What do soap and Popsicle sticks have in common? Popsicle sticks and soap can be made into sculptures.
 
2     Sculpture is just 3-D art. It has been around for a long time. People have made sculptures for thousands of years. During the Stone Age, sculpture was made out of rocks. Some artists made small figures of animals. Others made big statues. Easter Island is in the South Pacific. It has statues that are over thirty feet tall. No one knows how they were made. No one knows why they were made. They are statues of humans with big heads. They are a mystery.
 
3     Greek sculptors worked with marble and limestone. They made sculptures of gods and goddesses. One statue of a goddess looked real. Men fell in love with the statue! The Romans copied Greek statues.
