Have you seen Craft Wars?!? I really want to be on it!! We have decided to do a one hour Craft Wars at the start of each PD Day(we have 5 this year). We have random supplies laid out...and give the teachers a few objectives that must be accomplished in their creation! My wife actually gave me this idea!! The teachers that attended our PD Day on Assessment/Grading yesterday created these beautiful works while listening to The Pout Pout Fish. My friend Janet and I were leading the workshop..and we had to find a way to work that into the day!!! ha ha Every elementary art teacher should have this book in their classroom library! I did a dramatic reading(really..just how I normally read..ha) while teachers were getting underway with their project. We only told them that their must be a fish...there must be an environment...and craftsmanship must be excellent! I know that the images you are looking at do not look like The Pout-Pout Fish. HOWEVER...I am not really a fan of copying images from other artists. So this is inspired...not a copy. This work was later a part of the grading/assessment portion of our day.
