Mr. Carnes from Tulsa OK is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Totoro Cat Bus

Help me give my students building materials to create a life-sized sculpture of the cat bus, from the movie My Neighbor Totoro.

My Project

We need sculpture materials (glue, foam, and tape.) to construct the cat bus, from the movie My Neighbor Totoro. It will be a life-sized art installation outside of school, where students can hangout in during lunch time. This project will help bring joy and excitement to the school culture. Many of my students love making art pieces inspired by Studio Ghibli movies. Imagine something that you might find in a theme park.

Our 3D department will be constructing the sculpture, but everyone in the school will benefit from it.

Also, this project will utilize recycled materials like wood pallets, crates and plastic bottles.
