Coil Pots, 5th Grade

Alter(ed) Ego, 6th grade

In 6th grade, we talked about how colors can evoke emotions. For example, red can mean love or anger. The students took self portraits with cameras, and tried to match their emotions to the colored backgrounds. Then, they enhanced their photos even more using picnik.com and Photoshop. We also made a merge photo that had the 2 photos in one. This photo acted as the contrast between the two personalities. This merge photo is the photo in the shadow box that you can see straight-on. The other two alter egos, each can be seen from either side. So, there are three different images that appear when viewed from three angles.

LE FESTIVAL FRANÇAIS

On Friday, April 27, 7th and 8th grade French students at Monument Valley Middle School participated in LE FESTIVAL FRANÇAIS. Each student prepared “un produit” (a product) to sell at “le marché” (the market). The kids came up with really fun things to sell, including screen-printed artwork, French Fries (made out of clay),  Cream Puffs, Crème Brûlée, mini Quiches, jewelry, tattoos, croissants, games, hand-made journals and more. Students were given “euros” to shop at the markets. They liked the fact that they could spend as many “euros” as they wanted. At the and of the markets, the shopping bags were quite full. We sang the FrenchNational Anthem and the song Aux Champs Elysées and played a few rounds of “Touchez!” (Simon Says) as well. C’était super!!
