ORDINARY TO EXTRAORDINARY |
at the William O. Schaefer School.
Part three, of our journey
from ordinary to extraordinary is
to notice the uses of transformation.

What's going on in this picture? What kind of shapes do you see? Where is this place? What is Ordinary? What does it mean to be dynamic? |
| What do you see? What's in the air? |

Andrew Wythe, "Christina's World" |
Several weeks after the
class visited the Museum of Modern Art I asked the students to draw details of
images they remembered from our museum trip. Many drew multiple
images using the same vocabulary of shapes we saw in the art. |
|
Some drew "reference
boxes" on their drawings that linked the details in their art to specific art works
seen on the museum visit. Students titled their drawings. |

into transformation totems that represented the museum experience. |
