Bulletin board has been updated

When you get a chance, check out the bulletin board at the end of the hallway.  I recently updated it with current student work and photos.  Thanks to Joe Sierra for lending a hand!

Get ready for Aim#11:  How do we dimension a drawing?  Stay tuned for more details and samples of student work.

Collage: Frank Lloyd Wright

Students recently completed Frank Lloyd Wright collages.  Take a look at  this awesome display of creativity. (We're still archiving/posting...stay tuned for the rest!)

Triangles in combination

So far, students have been creating 30, 45, 60 and 90 degree angles with the use of a single triangle.  Would you believe that you can also create 15, 75 and 105 degree angles as well?  IMPOSSIBLE you say?  Oh, it's possible...find out more next week when we start Aim #10: How do we use triangles in combination? 
Here's the download link for the .pdf file with all the details.

Monkey Farm Cafe

Here's a project from last year which was never posted...the infamous Monkey Farm Cafe!  Model by Ashley Ali.

Drawing angles

Here's what's coming up next in Aim #9: Drawing Angles.  More to follow...get those triangles ready!

Gallery walk for Frank Lloyd Wright Collages

On Wednesday, October 19th, each class will complete a gallery walk of FLW collages to determine 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.  We didn't have time to do this today, but we'll take care of it tomorrow.
