Students in Mrs. Conner’s art classes were challenged to bring their creativity to life by designing their own custom Funko Pop-style characters! Starting with a 3D-printed base figure, students used Model Magic clay and acrylic paint to transform their ideas into unique works of art—whether inspired by themselves, a favorite character, or something entirely original.

We are so proud of the hard work, imagination, and creativity our students demonstrated throughout this project. Amazing job, Jaguars! 🖤💛 #JAALLDAY
