Today, we wrapped up the Admiring Hands project! Like the Postcard Project, we all sat around the long rectangular tables while discussing individual works. Some students volunteered to 'be first,' while others refused to participate...but in the end, all was fine, and the uncomfortable students shared with all their unique, sensitive mixed-media pieces...
Overall, everyone really liked the freedom of choosing what and who to include in their 'hands.' One student wanted more variety of materials, and I agreed. Also, all agreed that a better brand of glue stick would help in their collage efforts.
Inspiration came from parents, siblings, other Gilmore teachers (including yours truly), friends, and boyfriends or crushes. The sheer variety and style of work astounds me. And the amount, too. "A perfect project," the students quipped.
I wish all classes could be so satisfying to both student and teacher. :)
