What a great way to start my day with Ms. Valenti! Today in the Studio art class students were finishing their Cube projects. The students have to incorporate their name and 20 collage images form a magazine onto a large folded cube (which they assemble themselves). This was a great idea! Not only do the students get to produce artwork that reflects themselves but it is also a great project for the teacher to get to know her students through visual images.As for me, I first helped Ms. Valenti grade the cubes and then strung them together on the classroom's display board. After hanging the Cubes and other student art projects they recently finished.
Most of the students really enjoyed the Cube project and were eager to bring theirs home. This project touched base on various art concepts such as college, sculpture, advertising and composition. I will definitely use a similar project in my future classes!
Your blog is terrific so far, Sam. My only suggestion is to reflect on maybe one thing that happens each day rather than each class -- that is really too much work! (Although it will be a great document of your experience at Averill Park!)
