B.A. heroes have been returning to the "Capitol of Creativity"! As they fly into the art room for the first time this year, students are designing their own "Super Shields"! They are revealing their inner superhero powers by writing sentences on their shields that describe the things that they will do this year to make it super. These shields support the art room rules. The 4 R's of the Art Room are 1. Respect Yourself 2. Respect Others 3. Respect Materials 4. Respect the Art Room/ Studio We are discovering heroic characteristics of each other and reviewing the things that we will do to best learn, be safe, and have fun. A few shields from each class will be displayed on my bulletin boards by the art room. (Photos of bulletin boards will be added here soon)
Some students who have 40 minute art classes this week may be able to create “Super Songs” too! Unfortunately, the students who had art for only 15-20 minutes on Tuesday did not have time to create songs. Those who have time and want to participate are reading their heroic sentences into the app, “Songify” on my iPhone. Songify then turns their spoken words into a song. The app distorts their voices so much that student identities are not revealed. This app does not allow users to pause during a recording, which means that we are creating each song in one take. Some words may not be recognizable because of the effects that Songify applies to the songs, but we still think they rock! Songify is a free app. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/songify/id438735719?mt=8
Listen to these super songs by clicking on the speaker icons. I will add more songs to this post if/when other classes have time to make them.
