November 20th

Today is our only day in Art this week with the long Thanksgiving break beginning tomorrow.  I am excited for a few of my classes to have an extra day to work on their projects.

During the past few weeks I have been encouraging my classes to use their time more wisely by working instead of talking.  We have had a contest going between the classes.  There were two classes that tied for the best workers (I used an app that helped to monitor our volume level as part of the contest), these were Mrs. Wiser's and Mrs. Engles' classes.  For working so hard to keep on task and work together, they were provided an extra art experience on the last day of school.  These classes were allowed to do a painted cookie project.  Using food coloring (similar to watercolors) they used brand new brushes and painted a design onto a sugar cookie.  Many of the students did projects using rotational symmetry while a few others simply painted a variety of designs or attempted to paint a portrait.  It was quite a fun project for those that got to participate.
