Great news!!! Artspacing is growing and we keep getting new kids! Therefore we had to add another creative team in Sunnyslope. With the creation of an additional team we moved some kids around and have 5 teams: The Tigers, The Dalmatians, Space Arts, JCJ and The Crew. This week we saw what we could recieve with our Artspace points...some cool T-shirts, hats, bags and tattoos. Everyone is very excited about Artspace and racking up some points. We also began the musical section of story telling. We began making musical instruments that we will use to tell stories through music. We are making guitars and shakers. On Thursday we began by designing and painting our instruments. Next week we will continue as well as create our creative team's theme song with xelophones.

March 10 & 12

This week we worked on Body Mapping. This was a lot of fun. We were able to trace our bodies and decorated them to create a visual story about US! The students had a lot of fun with this...and surprise...they even got quiet! Great work Artspacers!!!

March 5

We worked in new groups chosen at random to tell the story of 4 completely different types of environments: The Big City, Outerspace, Rainforest, and the Ocean. Through drawing we told stories about what goes on in all of these very different places. It was a lot of fun and the students had a great time working together to create these pictures.

Learning about someone new. Today we interviewed a partner about one of their life experiences from their timeline. We asked them questions to get a greater understanding of their story. From there the students drew a storyboard about that event. It was a lot of fun learning about someone else!!

February 24 & 26

With some new members in Artspace we continued our life mapping exercises. In our creative teams we made a large group life timeline, mapping out all the important events in each student's life. It was really fun to see the similarities in all the students as well as their differences. We also went outside to play some fun games and gain Artspace points.
