What is in a Print?
This past week middle school explo printmaking has been delving into the past of the very first prints. Their challenge was to be inspired by the first prints created by man—body prints—and produce a work of art. The next step?

Academic Engagement
In Ms. Morrison's Academic Engagement class the 5th grade discussed our school theme "Color our world with..." They shared what this sentence means to them and named things that they wanted more of in our world. Some responses were "I want everyone to have food," "I want everyone to have nice teeth or access to a dentist," "I want to color my world with soap so there are no more smelly germs," "I want to color my world with detail," and last, "I want to color my world with rainbows." Afterwards, the students put their words and thoughts down on paper in the form of pictures. These pictures will be gathered together to create a class book. It was a great first week.
