Originally I asked for 4 reservations to be made in my name. I'm not sure
>
now whether we will make it. If we can, I would prefer to stop by and say
>
hi instead of actually sitting down to have dinner. So please remove my
>
reservations from the list. Thanks and looking forward to meeting everyone,

You might try Enzo Torcoletti at www.moultriecreek.com He is a
>
sculptor with an internationa reputation. He and his work are featured in the
>
textbook, "Sculpture" by Davis. Enzo is a very nice person who gets excited
>
about students interested in sculpture. He teaches at Flagler College in St
>
Augustine, Fla. He has been corresponding with a couple of my sculpture
>
students. He is very busy, so responses may be a little slow in coming.

I adore Matisse! Did you know that he, as well as Paul Klee was an influence
>
on the work of Alexander (Sandy) Calder? We are currently doing a circus unit

focusing on the kinetic sculptures of Calder. The is an excellent video on

Calder that shows his performance of his wire sculpture circus.

Perhaps a study in the parts and varieties of trees would help with the
>
detail problems. They could practice on a seperate peice of paper before
>
moving on to the final composition. I always tell my students to remember
>
when they were in preschool, and they made "lollipop" trees to try and get
>
them into thinking that they have moved WAY past this point. (Aren't I bad!)
>
They usually buy into the ploy, and avoid those lollipops!

I use pringles cans to cast glycerin soap. After it is cool, I just cut

off the metal rim with a serrated knife and peel off the can, & slice off

the soap.

This is my first year of teaching middle school, and I just had a show of
>
15 new pieces (of my own) hung at a jr. college. A miracle. The only way I
>
did it was to bring my supplies to school, and give myself an hour every
>
day after I'd picked up the room. I made everything the same size, the
>
same paper (woodcuts). During my planning period I could leaf through them
>
and think about what to do next - proved to be a really nice mental
>
"break".
>
>
I won't do this all the time, but it worked to get a show done.

I like what I'm doing because of the kids and also I have a really nice

faculty to work with.

Bunki, my 7 & 8 are enlarging their photos on a grid, and it is taking

So, my question, were ALL of your self portraits this incredibly awesomely

good? did you have some really really bad ones too? Did absolutely every

student complete the project? Did some simply freak out over the grid

itself? Over tracing paper itself? I have so many who can not use a ruler,

and who even have trouble with the concept of "rectangle".

Absenteeism is so bad that after two weeks I still have kids whose photos

I have 55 7 & 8 graders and I'm hoping for 20 portraits. Is that wrong?

I have done a similiar project with 6,7 and8. I think it really makes a =

had about 120 students the first time I did this and some of the things =
