AsOn Friday, children worked with projection as they revisited the Curious Garden.  Today we used projection to return to the work of making a book about the city.  Having a  video of driving in DC brought new children to the experience,  Some children interacted with the video and others chose to work on drawings.  After some consideration, Hugh and Tommy decided Grace could create a page for their city book. As they worked, they offered Grace some suggestions:
    Grace - Does this look like a city?
    Tommy - No, you need more buildings in your city.
    Grace - I'm making more buildings.   
   Hugh - Okay, how many cars do we need to draw?
   Tommy - One million. 
There was a great deal of collaboration throughout the process.  At one point, Hugh and Tommy were working together to finish each other's lines. 

Last week, Lou Lou started a drawing of her KW class.  Today, Jessica brought in some watercolors that would work well for the faces.  Lou Lou got right to work adding color to her portrait of the class.  As she painted her own face, she added several colors.  After all, Lou Lou is a colorful person!  Tegan and Lily were inspired by the new pigments that were available and started drawing and painting people as well.  Children also continued their work with watercolors and negative space which is a popular experience with this group.  Why do they like watercolors so much?
    Grace - Because they are our favorite.  We can use our favorite colors.
    Lily  - We can make rainbows.
    Tegan - Because they're fun.
