Hey everybody!
During the past couple of weeks, I've been teaching my 7th and 8th grade
students about art as a form of communication. We've done 2 narrative
art projects, but, I just can't get them to stop using those little
bubbles over their people's heads. We can talk about how other artist
tell a story without labelling the house "my house" and writing captions
but they can't do it themselves.
My idea is to do a bookmaking project where they can elaborate on an
idea or story and tell it without using words. I've got some craft books
on pop-up techniques but I was hoping you guys could help me think of
some other styles. Has anyone else used bookmaking in your own
classroom? I have a huge variety of abilities and interests in this
group of students. Thank you much!
Today, I'm firing the kiln for the 1st time. Wish me luck!
