trace over the design with a 6b or ebony pencil and fold the design over to the other quarter of the white paper. Rub the back until design lightly transfers. May need to use finger nail. Go over the now half page design again withtheebony pencil and then fold the whole shee in half so the design is on the inside,and then rub the back so the design transfers again.

Shattered Values-DONE!

The pictures don't even do these justice! I am just in awe at how cool these look! I still have 3 unfinished that I plan to post!

Dr. Suess Tornado Worms

I did this as warm up project for value with my Art II (9th graders).  And my students loooved it. Furthermore, my Art I's asked if they got to do that this year:-) I stole the idea from Mr. E's art blog. This project is a great project that can be stopped and started anytime!
 He has more detailed instruction on his site- so check it out!

* I couldn't think of a name for this, and I kept calling it different things, so finally I just let my students name it- and Dr. Suess Tornado Worms is what I got.
* Note- I was being lazy and didn't bother to rotate the photos- they should be verticle in orientation.

Even though I have only been at my new school for 2 weeks, I already love it! I have taken lots of pics of the work we've done and promise to post pics soon! But for now, I have an amazing student, who has set up an online portfolio of his photography. I wanted to share the link to his photos, and I think he has created a pretty cool name for it...dontchya think?
