Tim Needles blog for art & media art classes at Smithtown H.S. East
Welcome to Art Room 161
This blog was created as an extension of the dialogue that began in our classroom and the purpose is to share creative ideas, images, and critiscm. All posts should be appropriate for the high school classroom and critiscm should be helpful and positive.
Our Stormwater Awareness Campaign was in the news recently, the STEAM collaboration with HSW students in Mrs. Williams science classes has been terrific and well be completing our designs in order to share them at our next Google Hangout in March!
Today is our final day of painting the water conservation mural that we've been working on with National Geographic and the video above shows our whole process. We learned a great deal from the research and used it in our mural so now it's time to begin sharing some of what we learned with others! We'll post the video and the final mural pictured below on social media and put together a campaign in the spring that includes the beach cleanup we organized so the community can take action.
We will also be participating in another Google Hangout with the science classes at Smithtown West 5th period today to continue our collaboration on the smaller storm drain murals that we will be painting in the spring.
