Welcome Everyone!

Welcome everyone to the 2014-2015 school year! Our first day back was fantastic! Everyone seemed genuinely excited about being in room 234.

A couple of things to start out the year:

1. Artsonia permission slips are due back by this Friday!

2. If you Instagram then feel free to follow my professional art educator account @iamyourartteacher to see anything all things art plus due dates and reminders. Remember, this is my professional account NOT personal.

3. Our first project is a graffiti project where students create their front and back covers of their own sketchbook! We will then use a Japanese Side Stitch to put together our sketchbooks next week. So fun!

2013-2014 Stop Motion Animation: 1st Semester

     It's the time of year again! Time for the BEST PROJECT EVERRRRRRRR! Stop motion animation is a form of animation where an inanimate object appears to be moving by using a series of photographs which is similar to a flip book. The students had to develop a story line, construct a set with characters, and then proceed with the tedious process of taking 400+ photographs to tell their story. Unfortunately with our snow days it put us behind this semester and the students had to take as many photographs as possible with the shortened about of time that we had. When finished we put our photographs together by using Windows Movie Maker in the computer lab. We put 0.250 seconds in between each photograph so when the pictures are being shown at that speed it appears that the object is moving on it's own.

      To celebrate the accomplishment by all students we have an semi-annual movie premier called the Krieger Video Awards. This is a time where students can watch all the videos from all classes and vote for Best Video in their class. Among the Best Video winner in each class there is also an Overall Best Video winner.

Overall, this is an extremely time consuming and tedious project but the students always create successful movies and have something to be proud of at the end of the year. Great job by all!

Now the toughest question....which movie is your favorite????
