2011 Student Art Show & Goodbye

-
This is my last week at DuPont Elementary, but it sure has been an exciting one! We had a great student art show and thank you to all the parents who came out to support our budding young artists!
I will miss my DuPont students, parents, and teachers/friends....but, it is time for me to spread my artistic message in Clarksville Schools now.

Toilet paper sculpting!

Yes, that is the correct title of this post! Earlier this year I went to a workshop where one of the ideas was to sculpt with toilet paper. The trick is to barely wet one side of the paper then let the water soak or seep into the toilet paper. You can shape it, let dry, & when it dries it will hold its shape & can be painted. I decided to teach pop art and Wayne Theibaud with this lesson. So, 5th grade students are creating their favorite food. This is still a project in progress....more pics soon! I started everyone with sculpting a simple egg, then we painted them green & various other colors. The timing worked out great for Dr. Suess read across America!
