This week Jill Thomas, a painting graduate student at Arizona State University, and Patrick Vincent, a printmaking graduate student, have begun working with Ms. Vignoli's students at Desert Oasis Elementary. So far, we've been getting to know each other. On Thursday we designed and shared name cards, as well as created a "Creative Contract"— a student-generated set of rules which the students signed and thereby agreed to follow.
On Friday we completed a group drawing in the spirit of Halloween. Each student took turns adding their spooky drawings. Each student then took a picture of the drawing as it grew, so when the photos are all pieced together they created an animated video. This drawing was a warm up to the larger drawing/mural that will be our focus for the next six weeks. Every one seems excited to create and have fun!
