Cave Man Art Gallery is Here!!
All the fifth grade students have finished their cave man art!
Tonight I present to you the first public viewing of our Cave Man Art Gallery!
Actually, there are so many pieces (about ninety) that I couldn't hang them all up in one place or on one wall for fear of breaking the fire safety code, which requires that only 20 percent of any area can be covered with paper and cloth. That's not much space when you are trying to show off art work.
I divided the gallery up into three parts. One part is outside my classroom. It looks like this:
Another section of the gallery is inside a walkway between our gym and the main building:
And the last pieces were hung in the main entry hall just outside of the school offices:
Last night I pieced all the video clips I had made of the display, and made a movie. Of course I had to add music, and what better music was suited than what I had heard on the Lion King album, called "Under the Stars."
I have not made a movie on my school computer because I haven't even been able to download the movies from my camera to the Mac. It's possible they have downloaded to a place on my computer, but I haven't found them yet. At any rate, I will continue to search for them, or to download them again. This proves I am not as computer savvy as I had thought.
I want to make a movie to show the kids at school... and their teachers. I think they would be pleased with how well their works melded with the music.
I'm not going to explain it all with words.
So, without further ado, here is my latest video, called Cave Man Art Gallery. I hope you enjoy it (music gets a bit muffled as it gets louder... didn't know how to fix that).
Fix yourself a cup of tea and relax. It's a little over three minutes long. Thank you for visiting! bea

What a wonderful project for the children to work on. I really enjoyed their creativity with the cave man art. Such a talented bunch you have in your class, Bea. Thanks so much for sharing the video with us. Well done! (and wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas, too!)

I wish I'd had a teacher like you who would have encouraged my interest and my eye. I thought everything was just a suggestion and nothing has to be used exclusively for the purpose it was created for. Objects can be put together many ways. I even got in trouble for coloring 'wrong' when I was only six. You would have had me doing things with my creativeness that no one would allow when I was young.
BTW, these are fantastic! So proud of them and of you for taking them there. They'll never forget it as long as they live.
WISHING YOU THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!

O this was beautiful Bea! I noticed the hand-print, I can almost hear you explaining how that "artist" put claycoal in his mouth and blew it at the wall where he placed hs hand, isn't it fascinating? Thanks for posting this! xoxo CATHY

You certainly have a talented bunch of kids. They must be a pleasure to teach. You must bring out the best in them!!! Shame I didn't have a teacher like you years ago.
The video is fantastic and the music just sets it of a treat. Loved it.
Have a great day.
