ART CANOE

Students are working on their monument designs. While watching "A Strong Clear Vision" documentary about Maya Lin and the Vietnam War Memorial, students had an online discussion about the film and her work using www.padlet.com. See their comments below in the screenshot.

After making preto types, student will adapt their design concepts and produce their final products via the laser cutter and 3d printer.

My 8th graders are working on haiku videos. This involves students writing a haiku and then creating a video with 5/7/5 video clip that symbolically represent the haiku. They must also include music and the text of the haiku.

I have been pondering the skill set that is required for the maker movement. Students learn point and two point perspective drawing skills in my 5th grade art program. This skill set prepares them for their future STEAM classes in middle school, when they will design, build, laser cut, and 3D print their projects.
