Today's powerpoint presentations

I  enjoyed today's presentations very much. There were a lot of great discussions going on and it was really great to see what everyone else did. It was also awesome to hear about the differences between schools, students, and environments. What I found really interesting was the diversity in classes we were sent to. Some students were sent to Viscom classes, which I had never even heard of before. Some were sent to graphic design, ceramics, AP classes, photography, and sculpture. It was really was also realy refreshing to see that some students even got to observe glass blowing classes. I definitely got some really great ideas for lessons too from seeing what others did. One in particular that stands out was a painting in watercolors lesson that incorporated using wax paper and saran wrap to create different effects with the paints. The final paintings were beautiful and I feel that it is a great way to teach color and texture. Another great lesson was Joe's in which he taught graffiti. I respect him for teaching something that was completely new to him, but since he knew the kids were interested in it he taught it anyway. The student's drawings came out pretty awesome and he said that they were all really into the assignment. Overall it was really great to see what everyone else had done, what problems they had, what things they learned, and what schools and classroom environments they went to. Everyone had such different experiences and I think that we all learned something from each other. Watercolor and saran wrap video demo
