It was Leisure Ed. time for my students. As we walked in the room, the smell of stale paper, and glue sticks take over the room. All the art projects hanging on the walls make it bright with the reds, pinks, blues, greens, and yellows. Also as I walked in the room I could smell the Leisure Ed. teachers perfume.
The project we would do for the day is sand art. What you do is put glue on a piece a paper in a pattern and pour sand on it. You had to put one glue pattern on at a time, as to not mix colors. the theme was to make a starry night. As I put the glue on the smell reminded me of when I was a kid. The feel of the sand was hard and even. The color of the black paper made colors even more rich.
As we finished, I looked at the projects all the kids had done. Some choose navy blue paper, some choose black. The colors on the black were more vibrant. The bright, and dark purples, bright green, and blue, white and yellow formed in different shapes were beautiful. Everyone was very pleased with the outcome of their art projects. As we got ready to leave the teacher asked to leave the projects to dry. As we walked passed her to leave, I again could smell her perfume.
I like the opening line. Very descriptive right off the bat. Maybe reword the last sentence in paragraph 2 to, the black paper made the other colors stand out. I enjoyed reading this. The smell you described made me think of the smell oft the kiln room in my grade school art room.
ReplyDeleteYour third paragraph really jumped out at me. In my head I could see their projects with how you described the background of the paper and the colors the students chose. I didn't see any typos. How did the kids like the project?
ReplyDeleteI like your use of all the colors, gives a great image. Maybe you could describe the room a little more. No errors that I noticed, well written. Good job
ReplyDeleteTook me back to my art room in grade school. And yes the teachers perfume stood out then too. Great description of color and its presence. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this entry! The first paragraph sucked me in with the smell of paper and glue sticks, it instantly brought me bake to my childhood. Perhaps some description of the children doing the projects and their reactions to what they were doing. Overall I really liked it.
