This project is not going as I had hoped it would. Some students and I are still trying to figure out to use 3D software from the computer to print to the 3D printer. We've been successful with a few models, mainly an articulated snake, which nearly all of my student seem to love anyway and want to print. So, while my fifth graders and I work on printing other things, we will printing articulated snakes till the end of the school year. I do truly thank you for your generous donations made to my classroom and my students. I promise you, we WILL get this project up and running as it was intended.","fullyFundedDate":1736543237648,"projectUrl":"project/igniting-the-spark-3d-printing-and-scul/8977372/","projectTitle":"Igniting the Spark: 3D Printing and Sculpture","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Jacobowitz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1514746_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x25,y28&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755473532646","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cjacobowitz"},{"teacherId":1514746,"projectId":8836765,"letterContent":"Having age-appropriate art-related books in my accessible library is a blessing. Seeing multiple grades read stories about a girl name Katie going on wild adventures inside and outside of famous works of art is a joy. Watching them, then, synthesize what they read into fully realized illustrations is even better! Books, literacy, and literature do open pathways to children's' imagination. When combined with the visual arts only the sky's the limit for what students may achieve. Your generous donations have helped spark these pathways in my students.","fullyFundedDate":1728866730934,"projectUrl":"project/imagination-station-and-comic-book-learn/8836765/","projectTitle":"Imagination Station and Comic Book Learning Hub","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Jacobowitz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1514746_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x25,y28&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755473532646","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cjacobowitz"},{"teacherId":1514746,"projectId":8530460,"letterContent":"It is one thing to draw a comic book page on a 8 and a 1/2 like mist kids do and then there's the feeling of drawing on actual comic boards, the kinds professional artists use, along with other high-end tools of the trade. That is the experience my students are getting with this project.\r\nFrom using the drawing books as reference, in the beginning, I've taught my students the basics about turning basic shapes into ordinary, every day objects. They've learned to become storytellers and draw sequential pictures based off what they wrote. \r\nCurrently, we are working on their culminating project, the design of a single comic book page on comic boards. First pencilled, then inked, and finally colored. A progression of their work from beginning to end will show in a special exhibit at our school's end of year Art Show.\r\nFinally, your donations made this possible. I thank you and my students thank you!","fullyFundedDate":1723684970416,"projectUrl":"project/the-gophers-bam-pow-dynamic-comic-art/8530460/","projectTitle":"The Gopher's Bam! Pow!
