During our fifth week of ArtSpace, we connected our earlier Laban movement lessons to a discussion of perspective and optical illusions. The students then created their own optical illusions using a checkerboard pattern and their names. After creating the outline of a checkerboard, the students wrote their names using bubble lettering, then proceeded to fill in the checkerboard with two different colors, but leaving their names blank. Afterwards, they colored in the letters of their name using the opposite color of the box each letter passed through. We spent the following meeting continuing our work on the illusions.
Our Tuesday class meeting was the only one of this past week due to parent-teacher conferences. We used this time finish up any projects that had been left undone: treasure maps, "day in the life" storyboards and the checkerboard optical illusions. Next week, on March 3rd, we will be hanging up all of the projects that have been completed for an open house, where all parents can come in and view what their children have accomplished in the first five weeks of ArtSpace. We hope to see you there!
