They will enable my students to do interesting color experiments following the Interacting with Color projects initially developed by artist Josef Albers. \r\n\r\nThere is a sequence to this curriculum, and we haven't reached the color chapter yet, so what I'm sharing with you are pictures of the first collaborative art project we presented to our entire school community at the fall Open House last night. We began the school year studying Henry David Thoreau and his time at Walden Pond. We tie dyed a large screen to present animals from Walden Pond, while students took turns reading passages from Walden about each one. The idea, of course, is that we live deliberately, and advance confidently in the direction of our dreams, as Thoreau suggested. I think these turned out GREAT! The students know about the papers you funded for us and are intrigued by what is coming up for them this semester.","fullyFundedDate":1778261780764,"projectUrl":"project/fun-with-color/10246569/","projectTitle":"Fun With Color","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hammel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3040943_orig.jpg?crop=996,996,x0,y99&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742056441720","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3040943"},{"teacherId":3040943,"projectId":10074501,"letterContent":"I will be using an art and literacy strategy called Image-Making and applying it to a non-fiction content area. In Image-Making, students make a set of colorful papers of their own in August, and then use those papers throughout the semester to make a series of tear and paste collages. \r\n\r\nThese colored papers require some unusual materials that I can't access through my regular school supplies, things like marblizing powder, liquid watercolor paints, and specialized porous card stock paper. Those were some of the items in this Donors Choose campaign and they are all here now. Also in this campaign were small group sets of the novels we will be reading next semester.\r\n\r\nI cannot report to you what impact they will make because these items are for next semester, but I can report to you my relief and gratitude to have them on hand so I am ready. The kids are eager, but we get a summer break in between!","fullyFundedDate":1771036739325,"projectUrl":"project/art-of-our-own-and-books-to-read/10074501/","projectTitle":"Art of Our Own and Books to Read","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hammel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3040943_orig.jpg?crop=996,996,x0,y99&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742056441720","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3040943"},{"teacherId":10024293,"projectId":9330403,"letterContent":"My students were so excited to see the items from this project arrive at my classroom.

If only I had enough sheets to let them \"laminate away\" to their hearts content.
