...I just wear the one I made on my Shirt!
These symmetrical paper collage monsters were photographed with ipods and run through the percolator app by their creators. See these and all the other great pieces my students have made on our online art gallery on Artsonia. Artsonia offers tons of wonderful products that feature your child's art.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote for Declan17  to win Artist of the Week through Artsonia. I heard that 5th graders showed tons of support for Declan and shared their support via Edmodo. Here is a screenshot from Miss Feck. They randomly choose artwork uploaded to their site each week and ask art appreciators to cast their votes for the winning art. Declan had more votes than anyone in his age category! Yeah! So he will be receiving a plaque, a $50gift card from Blick Art, and his artwork posted on the winners page on Artsonia. The art room will also received a $1oo gift certificate for art supplies as well. His art was one of 335 images that helped create an all 5th grade rotoscope animation made on iPads. Take a look at the final animation below. This will be submitted to Rotoball12, the international collaborative animation projected hosted by David Gran in Shanghai, China. Learn more here.

Congratulations to Bridget (5th) Antonina (1st) Eli (4th) and Ethan (5th) for having artwork exhibited in New York City on a 30ft LED Screen near Broadway through Artsonia's partnership with The BigScreen Plaza. Learn more here. I included this in the video from my trip to the NAEA conference where I was able to see the art screened in person. View the video here.

500 pieces of student art from around the country will be showcased in NYC on a 30 foot LED screen in the heart of the downtown area. This presentation was made possible by Artsonia working with the BigScreenPlaza.org project. They will be screening the artwork while 6000 art educators meet for their annual professional development conference blocks away. I'm very excited for our 4th grade Dryden Student Eli who will make his NYC debut on the Big Screen while I'll be there to see it! (His piece is image #366 which means it will show around 7pm.)
Here is what it might look like below during the show on 
Friday, March 2nd 5-8pm
Saturday, March 3rd 5-8pm
Below is my mock up of how it might appear on the 30 foot screen. They will include his artist statement along with the image as seen below.

Third graders painted an up close and cropped portrait of Santa much like Andy Warhol's Santa image. Then they used the ipods to photograph and apply a customized effect using the Percolator App.

This quick tutorial will explain all the steps for leaving comments to our buddy classrooms using our newly updated iPads. We have to remember to always turn on and OFF the airplane mode to connect to the internet and disconnect from the internet when we're done.
