Vroom Vroom... Hot Rod Hamster coming through...I have this book called Hot Rod Hamster by Cynthia Lord, and I just love it.. I had really big hopes for this project, but it fell a bit short... there is a long story of why it fell a bit short.. but you all dont want to hear that.. They are still very cute..

Jean Dubuffet MEGA Animal sculpture

All right... So this is how it all got started...The other art teacher that works in my building was working with foam, and she was going to buy some more to do some project.... I told her that you can most likely get it cheeper at like Home Depot. Because they sell it 4'x8' sheets..... So a few week later we were looking at Jean Dubffet Sculpture, and we where thinking that they could be made out of foam... So we got 5 sheets of it.  We were going to make some people, but then we ran into the problem of how to get them to stand????? So we where looking at Jean art work again... and one of his sculputures look like a giraffe.  So we got to work.. making a giraffe.. and then came the elephant.  

The Giraffe.. stands about 12 feet tall, and the elephant is 8 feet long and about 9 feet tall
I think...

I will take more pictures when they are standing in the lobby of are school.... but here is what we have done so for...

QR Code Project update...

So here is what final twist of the project was... We built wall... or building around the black part of the code..

Some students did a very nice job... and some had a hard time doing it... so some had to switch to making tubes..... Oh well..

Does any look at there stats on the blogger? Well I have about 3-4 referring URL that are spamming my site my views per day have gone up into the 200... Is there a way to block those site? Does any know?

QR Code Project

1. Students make thier own QR Code using thier name. 

2.  Count out a 10x10 square on thier QR code that they found fun to look at

3. They have a 12"x12" paper and we traced the ruler to make it 1" grid to  make 100 squares

4.  Then they copy their QR code on thier paper using Sharpie. When they copy it we made line design in it, for the black squares.

I have more pictures... to come..because the project is not done... There is another twist to this project.

Here's what I look like....
