Kris Blasucci - PCR               My art makerspace idea this month is to provide the students with a kaleidoscope and have them explore campus for five minutes. (timers provided)  Upon returning they will create a kaleidoscope pattern of their own using colored pencils and a circled piece of cardstock.

Origami from old book pages

I found that this book wasn't really circulating because it required the use of clay, a kiln, and paint so instead I started having students using play-doh instead of real clay to gain a renewed interest. So, students will find a project and recreate or create their own. Once they do a few from the book they gt the idea and come up with some really creative items.

Using an iPad with OSMO, students can unleash their inner artist! Pick an image from the camera, web or curated gallery and Masterpiece will transform it into easy-to-follow lines, helping you create beautiful drawings.

I purchased 2 coloring posters, one for primary and one for intermediate students. Students were allowed to use markers, crayons, or colored pencils. Both posters were completed within 2 days. Based on the popularity of the 2 posters, I set up a makerspace station utilizing the computer to create posters. Students designed the poster and then printed it. The first one was on aquatic life. The second poster was alphabet letters. Students have enjoyed being able to design as well as decorate the posters.

My plan this month was for students to make bookmarks out of wide Popsicle sticks, markers, googly eyes, and construction paper. Out students absolutely LOVE bookmarks, so I figured it was a good idea for kids to be able to make their own.

We continue to host 5th grade Tours in the MakeIt Lab and will even have a Cardboard Challenge with a middle school MCIII class at the end of the month.

Glossy, Stained Glass Sharpie Art

Sharpie Fine-Tip Permanent Markers
glossy photo paper Creating our glossy stained glass art:
If you’re working with young children, you’ll want to protect your work surface with a plastic table-cloth or newspapers.

To create their art, the students draw whatever they wanted on their photo paper.  Coloring on photo paper is a such a cool experience.  The markers glide so smoothly over the glossy surface!

For the examples in the picture, my students used a black sharpie to make outlines, and then they filled the areas in with the colors of their choice.
As the coloring dries the art appears to look like stained glass

We kept the Little Bits out this month with 2 additional assignments.  Many students did not make it into the Makerspace area in February and asked to continue for another month.
