Vicki Ranck - if you see this -- check out my number one and number two BIG
ideas:
We learn a culture's history, values and beliefs through the study of their
arts.
The arts are basic symbol systems by which a culture communicates,
interprets and acquires knowledge of the world around them.
That's out of my head -- never referred to any National Standards..... I do
like the order your research shows.... Folks - Vicki Ranck's research
findings show the importance of the National Standards strands - in order as
ranked by twenty five art teachers (scroll
down) http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/teacher.htm
Charlot - if you are reading...I added a short bit from your paper - check
that out.
Well...off to plaster now....More yard art samples to come -- for your
enjoyment. We (hubby and I) are certainly having fun with them... Next is a
pink flamingo for Matt - very long leggity of course. Making more dollies,
too....
You could coat the work with outdoor/waterproof varnish - we are using
polyurethane and it is holding up.... Just don't use Sharpie markers as the
lines will run (I can't coat my wood sculpture - but it is oil base enamel
paints so should be OK -- photos to come of that one).
