This has been an incredible week for my Dryden Student Artists!
I was contacted by Bonnie B. Rushlow, Ed. D, the co-author of the soon to be released,

She saw our artwork on Artsonia sent word that she would like to use many images in her textbook. The following artist have been selected (and parents have given permission) so far...

In honor of our upcoming Author Visit on February 3rd (bubble-gum day) with Mrs. Ruth Spiro of Lester Fizz, Bubble-Gum Artist fame, we made our own book cover art. Read this post to learn more: http://bit.ly/A74bmM
Students used Keynote, their yearbook picture, a digital hat, and image of a pink bubble to reconstruct the cover art of the book so that they could look like a Bubble-Gum Artist just like Lester Fizz. View their artwork here.

Who would have thought that learning could be so fun. My first graders had a blast singing along to the REPEAT Fugleflicks video about color, line, and shape pattern with my magic glowing wand.
Have some Karaoke fun yourself with this link.

There are other songs on my wiki too set up for Karaoke. 
If you do...share your videos of students singing with us

Two Fugleflicks considered BEST IN FILMS FOR CHILDREN BY CHILDREN

01/12/2012

0 Comments

 
I received this message yesterday from the Chicago International Children's Film Festival:

"We have selected your films Complementary in Every Way and The Glue Blues for the launch edition of the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival Online and would like to invite your participation. The films will be screened with no charge to the viewer, and no entry fee to you. Our goal is simple: to showcase the very best in films made by children and youth for other children and youth."

WOW! What an amazing compliment!

Our Fugleflicks are student-created art-related movies that teach us something useful for art education. We've been fortunate enough to have had some of these Fugleflicks screened at local, national, and international film festivals and student video contests. 
View our Fugleflick Collection online on Vimeo. Use this index to get started.


Meanwhile, let's enjoy the best in films for children by children below!
