February 5, 2009

Today, Ms. Sapelly observed a natural rhythm of the class, which included more gluing of beads, sparkling yarn, and marled variegated chenille onto sheets of white watercolor paper. A discussion about the differences between the games of pool and billiards began while one student finished his project, devoted to pool, adding a pencil wrapped in a neutral fabric that acted as a pool stick. A few students sat at the computers, intently looking for evidence of any differences between the two terms.

Hands projects are completed, new ones begun as Ms. Sapelly is constantly asked, "Can I have another sheet of paper?"...Thank you to Ms. Lobo for letting us use some of her enormous stash of colored felt...

A student composed a group of hands around the edges of the paper, colored in the 'negative' space surrounding them, revealing a 'star' shape in the center. A beautiful, powerful graphic image in its purity, its simplicity..
