2nd grade has been working in a “thing!” Don’t want to give away too much of the surprise but it involves the Vinalhaven Public Library and this art is going to be used in a pretty unusual way;) Does the work remind you of the stained glass windows in the children’s section? #staytuned;)

A fun activity to do when you want to split the class in half to work with a small group. The kids you aren’t working with have to slow down & work small. They LOVED it!

9 students • 9 film cameras • 0 sharks • 9 photos that “give” shark! Maybe it looks like a shark or part of a shark, or maybe it’s giving a feeling that a shark is nearby? Not an easy assignment to photograph something you’ll likely never see, but is still somehow on our minds! These are the final prints created by the middle school art club in the dark room w/photographer @jontobiasz as part of our Arts@theIntersection project with @farnsworthmuseum Which one do you think is the most shark-y?• thanks to this project, there are now 9 students (+myself) who know our way around the school darkroom! Pretty cool, in a 1900’s sort of way! Excited for the exhibit opening at the museum on May 17th!

For no reason at all, a few 7th graders were interested in needle felting, I have all the stuff, so why not put it in front of them just for fun! Looks like fiber arts could be the next topic in the curriculum;)
