It probably is taking so long because doing a demo as a whole class was not helpful to MOST of my students! I ended up going around to each table and showing them individually. The kids who got it also went around to help. I tried taking an up close pick on my last post so you can see how we stitched them!Paper Pearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377020314440259796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347290020326599850.post-20480878354709629482011-05-06T02:49:30.754-07:002011-05-06T02:49:30.754-07:00Thanks Rachel :) I try and look at my project exam...Thanks Rachel :) I try and look at my project examples as part of my art making!

I can't remember what went wrong (so this is not a very useful comment)... but I do remember that somehow the pillows ended up much smaller than I was picturing... can't wait to see how yours turn out!Hannah- Art.Paper.Scissors.Glue!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12472975743213608949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347290020326599850.post-10424335327164936812011-04-18T19:22:00.137-07:002011-04-18T19:22:00.137-07:00cool idea! thanks for the encouragement! I should ...cool idea! thanks for the encouragement! I should find out by the end of April. The joy of day-to-day subbing is having time to make and show art, enter juried exhibitions, contests, etc! I know that we should have time to do both (plan lessons and continue making our own art) as art teacher, but in the year and a half I spent teaching art so far, I did not have/make much time for it. <br /><br />Blessings on your teaching! I like the "art around the world" idea--another teacher I subbed for did that for elementary. It makes for a great structure for the curriculum, I think to have the cultural connections already there, and then the elements and principles are intertwined into meaningful lessons.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00087900349076690918noreply@blogger.com
