1st Day Experiences
The first day of art began with the video, "Obvious to You. Amazing to Others" where Derek Sivers perfectly describes the feelings an artist experiences while creating art. Following the video, I told the students they would be using their creativity to build forts. They could use newspaper, tape, and the furniture around them. With 20 minutes to build, the students scattered across the room to claim furniture and supplies. Many worked collaboratively while some worked individually.
