GWMS Week 4.2

GWMS Week 4.2

We wrapped up the second week of the fourth rotation.  The drawing center and the collage center are open, with painting opening tomorrow.  

Below is a picture of a canvas painted by the GWMS Art Club.  We are participating in the "Dream Rocket" project (dream rocket), sponsored by the International Fiber Collaborative.  They plan to stitch together 8,000 panels to cover a replica of the Saturn V Moon Rocket.  I am so glad that we could participate in this project!

GWMS Week 3.7

GWMS Week 3.7

The third rotation is over tomorrow.  We missed four days this time around because of the crazy-cold weather.  Luckily, the art room is always warm and full of energy.

I decided to have students work on a collaborative project to conclude this session.  All six of my classes had the chance to paint on popsicle sticks with acrylic paint.  I hot-glued the sticks  to a canvas that we painted black.  (I originally saw an image of this project on Pinterest - so thank you, to whomever came up with this idea)  I think it turned out very well!
