This Mary Blair castle bundle includes lessons for making both a large collaborative castle that is taped to the wall and an 8.5x11 design.
A magnificent pair of very large and dramatic gothic castle wall sconces or torch lights made from heavy duty iron giving an authentic medieval look. These lights are extremely solid and therefore in excellent condition. For protection I have applied 2 coats of beeswax. The rare "flame look" shades are in surprisingly good condition although the rim on one has suffered a few chips round the edge which cannot be seen once in situ. They are difficult to put an age to but I would say the 1950s or earlier based on the glass flame shades, At some point they have been rewired to take modern e27 screw in bulbs or led,s. I WILL POST A PHOTO OF THE LIGHTS AT NIGHT SHOWING THE SUPERB ATMOSPHERE They will look amazing outside in a courtyard, a pool area, a chateaux or equally atmospheric inside a large dining room or restaurant perhaps. A rare find not to be missed. Weight 2.50 kilos each, 5.00 kilos the pair (Heavy!) Height with shade in place 61cm (24") Diameter of the shade 12.3cm (5")

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID… What happy teachers are saying: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Students loved learning about Mary Blair for Women's Month and the connection to Walt Disney World. Students were engaged and made some really wonderful art ~ Miss Red Apple ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This resource came with a lot of ideas on how to do the artwork. There was a lot of pages to ensure that each child's artwork was unique. It was easy to implement and my child actually sat down and used his watercolors to make it appear like Mary Blair's. There is so many different variations that I could use this same resource multiple different ways and still come out with something different each time. ~ Mouse Ears and Coffee Beans ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My students loved using this resource to inspire them when making their own Mary Blair-esque castle. I introduced the lesson with a picture book about her life then a short video as to why she was an integral part to adding the modern movement of art to Walt Disney animation and to the iconic It's A Small World attraction! The kids loved it! ~ Pamela T. ✨ Use Mary Blair Castles to bring fun, hands-on activities to your students to help build drawing and art concepts! ✨ Stay Connected Blog Instagram Pinterest YouTube Facebook Thanks for visiting!
