A grad student in art (with an emphasis in potatos) came to show us how to sculpt potatos
and he told us about different art mediums. Then different teams sculpted their own for
prizes.
Instructions/Things Needed:
--100 lbs (or more) of mashed potatos (no need to peel them)
--Prizes for winners (we had a trophy with Mr. Potato Head on top, Mr. Potato Head
keychains, Potato T-shirts, and potato books)
--Someone who can talk about art and sculpture
Other Considerations:
We definitely should have started making the potatos WAY in advance. You should also cover
the sculpting area well because accidents do happen.
