Week 12

I missed this class because I was sick. However, because I could see other students’ blogs, I knew what was happing in the classroom. I think the blogs are very helpful in case of absence.
My classmates discussed the positive aspect of being an educator, our blog entries and reflected upon the class and their work. The class also critiqued each other’s sketchbooks and final project.
The class set up 3 work stations with different themes: globes, balls, and spheres.
1. Balls: the packaging-tape-cast station, in which they wrapped different types of sports balls in packaging tape (sticky side up). A second layer of tape, sticky side down, was added to create a hollow, translucent sphere of the same size as the original object/ball.

2. The scriptural station: students created a round shape using cardboards and staples.
3. Finally, the sketch station where students set up the various balls and sketched them in pencil.
