What an exciting second week of the artspace program! We continue to present new challenges to the students, which have been met with enthusiasm and real focus. This week we initiated “Toolbox Time”, a warm-up activity we will do each session to introduce the students to a series of creative tools. This week, we learned about perceiving difference and the concept of order, which we successfully added to our classroom toolbox.
The class also analyzed and discussed the visual story told by an image of a bedroom from the book “Goodnight Moon”. Acting as visual detectives, they used the objects portrayed in the image as clues to tell the story. Each student then chose an object from the illustration- ranging from a red balloon to a window displaying the night sky- made a drawing of it and wrote a new twist to the story. The red balloon was drawn in Grandmother Rabbit’s hand as she retrieved it from the ceiling, the night sky seen in the window transformed into the morning sun, and the bedside clock changed it’s hour. There were some truly inventive explanations and new endings that were imagined!
Having learned about our personal stories and the stories of rooms, we look forward to moving on to the stories of buildings and our community!Mr. Braden & Ms. Audrey
