Last week we had a pioneering
campfire with the tables tilted on their sides for the “wagons”, and a candle
for the flame with logs and rocks surrounding it. We still have the wood and
candle on the floor! We all had a good time. We sang songs and Devin told “scary” stories, one of
them was when Devin and her friends were staying alone in South Dakota during
winter and Devin’s dad tricked them into thinking that a ghost was knocking on
the door! J On 1/17/13, we painted Martin Luther King Jr. No, let
me correct you, we finger-painted him!J
Using black and white paint and our fingers to paint finger-sized dots paint
sections of a picture of him, and we’re soon going to put it up on our wall. -Skyler
The following photos of the Team 3/4 artists were shot by Skyler. Such interesting perspective!
I'm very excited about how our Dr. King portrait turned out. I think it's really spectacular and a beautiful way to honor such an important man. You should definitely come check it out in person. This week, we read a MLK biography by Mary Winget that I love because it's filled with incredible photographs. We also discussed non-violent resistance and the context of life in the segregated South that necessitated such a passionate and powerful response.
Skyler also took these photos of a sculpture workshop taught by Alex! The whole class was very grateful to Alex for bringing in the clay and teaching us some techniques for molding emotive faces.
Way to step up, Alex!
