Building in a Winter Wonderland

Happy Friday everyone! The snow is melting but it will live on in our hearts here in Rainey Room B. This Friday we decided to combine our work with buildings, architecture and weather into some preliminary work creating "snow houses." On one side of the room, our plan was to use "snow materials" such a paper, wire and styrofoam to create houses. The different densities, strengths, and flexibilities of the materials  allowed us to think about what worked best for our individual ideas. 

Sylvie decided that wire would be more fun to work with than glue...


​This is like sewing what I'm doing - Sylvie

Jane focused on the structural supports for her house

I like your cute little house, Jane - Janie

Unfortunately, we had to stop early. Our work needed time to dry before we could add onto it. Monday we will make them even more magnificent!

On the other side of the room, our painting changed. With black paint, everything felt different. We noticed that light colors, like white, were much more vibrant than on our normal painting paper. We had to try it our for ourselves!

Can I try? - Sylvie
Ok, I will try next - Lucia
