So I feel like I have alot to share today. I am finally in full take over of the art room at the middle school. So much more fun to be teaching my own lessons. It's just always awkward trying to row someone else's boat, if you know what I mean. I demoed paper marbling for the kids on thursday and they just thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Sadly, some of them could not handle the shaving cream and got detentions. I had boys up to their elbows in shaving cream! BUT they also ALL look super cool. Its nice to have a project where every print turns out unique as well as everyone is successful.
On thurday I also had an interesting lunch.... I guess I was just feeling creative with only 15 min of free time
So for lunch I had strawberries but, these were weird because the green leaves at the top were abnormally overgrown. Like they enveloped the whole strawberry. Side note: I have found this to be a desirable quality as it seems to keep them from molding. Being inspired by this I made a forest....
Still needed something so I fashioned a little man out of floral wire...
The tape serves two purposes. One, it holds the little guy together. Two, its quite modest.
Finally I added a little backdrop to complete the mood. I love when little things evolve like this. Who knew lunch could spark a little fun before the 6th graders came tearing in
=)
love your little guy! looks like the creative juices were strawberry that day :)
