In my classes I like to introduce students to origami. A documentary, Between the Folds, will be airing on PBS Dec. 8 showing the recent, incredible expansion of origami as an art form. Some of it can be seen on YouTube. I strongly encourage my students and families to see this. The constructions folded from a single sheet of paper will blow you away!

Fish, fish and more fish!
While the clay pots made the previous week were drying, this week's class drew underwater scenes using markers. I encouraged then to look for and add details from their photo references.
Abby and Esther worked as a team.
Matthew accepted a lot of challenges in this, like drawing that gnarly football fish!
Andrew... he hid since he ALWAYS has to make a super goofy face for the camera.
Meaghan concentrates on getting that coral just right!
Drew developed lots of textural patterns.
