The kids at Whittier International School are on their spring break, so I didn't see them this week.
I've been thinking of different ideas for the lesson I'll be teaching them next month. The time is quickly approaching. The kids will be studying the water cycle in their Science class, so I'm trying to come up with ideas to relate art to water.
The most obvious ideas are something involving watercolor or marbling. I think something related to marbling would be pretty exciting for kids. There's something magical about transferring those floating patterns to paper or fabric, and I think it would keep them really excited and engaged.
There is also opportunity for some sort of 3D modeling project, a video, or animation...the possibilities seem somewhat endless to me. Hopefully next week I'll be able to sit in on their science class and it'll help inform my decision and ideas.
I spent this week catching up on a bit of my other classes. A lot of final projects are starting to be assigned, so I'm pretty overwhelmed with having to develop a lot of big ideas at once. I also went home to see my family again. The trip wasn't that exciting. I had to leave later than expected because of an unexpected snowfall, and then I had to leave early because of another snowfall. Happy April!
