I attached them by class to large(4') foamcore dots and all 12 are on display in the halls. He loved them and we loved him. Everyone should own a copy of this book. Check out his website at www.FableVisionLearning.com and his business in Dedham, Mass. "The Blue Bunny".
I had a fabulous "Art Afternoon" with one 3rd grade class on Wednesday. I showed them a form of monoprinting. We used foam to make our designs on. I had 10 kids for nearly an hour then we switched and I had the other 10. It was the way every art class should be. Due to a scheduling demand,sadly it's not going to work out that effectively for the other 3rd grade class.
DAILY HAIKU 2009
May 8th I used small strips from a postcard for its color and texture as a frame to reduce the space. It's from the Hood Gallery at Dartmouth College. The simple image has the stamped sun and the grass stenciled.

An irregular scrap of grey-green paper with a piece of tracing paper over it for the text and spirals for the raindrops make this a satisfactory entry. The verse lists rain words and has the middle line in common with the 6th.

Day long steady rain
rain puddles, rain rivulets
grey, somber, sleepy.
I used a stamp for the 6 and 9 over a stencil for the same numbers. A Flair marker makes solid black lines and crosshatching.The text is on tracing paper so I could use lines under it to get straight writing.

I wrote the text using a calligraphy point on grey-green scrapbooking paper and glued them over a background textured with pale pink and green. I used a stamp with flowers on it and only inked portions. The pink flowers in each corner are from a stencil I bought.

The return to school after spring break is noted by the text and I missed my coffee date with Paula. The turquoise is from a renewal card in "Cloth, Paper, Scissors". With white and a lighter shade of turquiose it has a springlike texture. I used a fineline gel pen to make the curved lines.
