March 18, 2009

A student came up with a novel way to apply ink: aim the filled dropper and fire it onto the paper, creating a magnificent, exploding, colorful design. This one in particular has embraced this technique, and each class I find him set up, newspapers underneath his paper, armed with various ink colors, ready to work.

The film crew of two arrived for the last time, just to interview students, asking them if they like the class better now than back in December, when we began...and WHY...But trying to get some middle school students 'to elaborate' is impossible. An A to the film crew for trying..

Ms. Sapelly reviewed the finished work, and realized that some students proved prolific, making half a dozen pieces. One focused on his shoes/feet, and created a variety of complex pieces that included outlines, cutouts, and inserts...

Ms. Sapelly failed to escape the film crew's notice, and was asked about how she liked teaching here...she responded "I'm trying not to think about this Friday, the last class, too much. I loved every minute teaching here..."
