We are absolutely running out of school year! Second grade will have time to squeeze in one more small project before we make our portfolio's the week of May 13th.
We'll be reading/listening to the book The Calabash Cat by James Rumford and creating our own Calabash inspired animals. Although Mr. Rumford's illustrations were done primarily in neutral colors, students will be allowed to use a background color of their choice.

Two in One day!
Okay, Clearly I have been spending a little more time than usual on the internet. But I think it's been worth it. LOOK at what this artist, Guy Larame, has been creating from old books!
He uses tools to carve into them and create really detailed landscapes. You can see more of his work here. What an awesome way to reduce, reuse and recycle.

The Joy of Books
Hello!
I hope everyone got plenty of rest over the break, this time of year I always feel like we have a ton to do and not enough time to do it in. Classes will be working on either clay or printmaking, weaving and at least one more drawing project for the year. This semester is when some of my most favorite projects happen.
I was online checking my email this morning and came across this fabulous video a couple from Toronto, Canada made using a technique called Stop Animation. It's called "The Joy of Books" I hope it makes you smile like it did me =-)
Here are two great resources for more information on Stop Animation. Link #1 and Link #2 *Parents, Link #2 is going to take you away from my page to a You Tube video, the music is crazy but I have not seen any inappropriate previews for other videos*
