SCHOOL PLANET PROJECT SCULPTURES:
"Ripple Effect | Our Watershed Connections"
The 2024 classroom sculpture project invites students to embrace and reflect on the aquatic ecosystem of Alabama freshwater fish and how they live among the flora and fauna of Alabama’s watershed habitats, with humans as witnesses, interlopers, or caretakers.
Come see these large-scale human-like or fish-centric sculptures that will be installed by participating classes at the Festival.
