Tomorrow I'm headed to Binghamton NY for my state art teacher's convention where I'll be teaching a couple of workshops. I'll be be blogging about it in the coming week, but here's something else in the meantime.�
Last April I blogged
here about how my DragonWing Arts students had made painted paper in warm and cool colors, to use in some sunshine collages we were making.� I never posted the finished products.� As it was, we ran out of time and had to take some short cuts in putting together the final pieces, but I still liked them a lot. I almost forgot to take pics, so I shot these in a hurry in very poor lighting.�
The kids had designed patterns on tracing paper for their suns, and were using them with their painted paper to cut and put together like puzzles.� But their ideas were WAY too complicated, so in the end, with no time left, we ditched the patterns, threw caution to the wind, and just started cutting and assembling!
�It was a challenge, but the kids were enthusiastic nevertheless!
�Here are the (somewhat) completed pieces.
The aftermath!
We've got some really fabulous new projects my students are working on now.� I'll be telling you more about them in the coming month, when the artwork is completed.� Now, I'd better go finish packing!!!� Hope to see some of you in Binghamton!
