Map of Where the Banners are Located

Below is a map of where our banners are located. Take a stroll downtown and check them out. They will all be up by June 17.

Shakespeare Banners, Larger than Life

Here is a photo of two students with their banners. The banners are much taller than they are.

 

Even More Banner News!

Hey, beloved people that view our blog! We have even MORE banner stuff for you! Below, we have some pics of when Mark and Ms.Martin were dropping off the banners at the studio. Also, if you wouldn't mind, check out our display in Centre Mall! We are so pro.

 

Marks car packed with the banners. Ms.Martin actually had to take two trips, because the car wasn't actually big enough to all the banners!

 Mark helping load the banners into his car.

 See? A huge load of banners.

By no means, sir. Time travels in divers paces with
divers persons. I'll tell you who Time ambles withal, who Time
trots withal, who Time gallops withal, and who he stands still
withal.

Center Galleries Exhibition

On top of banner labelling I had to install the exhibition at Centre Galleries. I was a few days late on that waiting on the banners. Here is an image from the installation. Thank you to my husband for helping with the installation and to Joanne for being patient with the install date.

Shakespeare Said... Banner Campaign done at the printers

Today I picked up all the ads at Pelican Media. I brought them home and began the long, tedious and exhausting task of labelling them for the installation crew.  The banners look fantastic and I am so excited about the campaign. Thankfully a friend of my daughter's biked by, saw my mountain of ads on the lawn and pitched in to help. Thanks so much Emerald, you really made my day. It seemed as the evening progressed and got dimmer the banner multiplied. They didn't but it felt like it. Can't wait to share them with the students tomorrow.

Prospero and Miranda 2!

Today Ms. Martin's former student David Schrader came to our school for another visit! Since we had started on Prospero and Miranda, he decided to help!-------

David painted the inside of Prosperso's sleeves with spray paint (no cut and paste involved) and also started a staff for Prospero made of bamboo!

Since the staff isn't quite done, here are some pictures and close-ups of Prospero's sleeves.

I personally think it's really cool that he only used layers of spray-paint.

So hopefully we can get to work on our last cut-out board! We'll send out new pictures soon!

There's nothing ill can dwell in such a temple:
If the ill spirit have so fair a house,
Good things will strive to dwell with't.

Prospero and Miranda!

We have begun to work on a new character board of Miranda and  Prospero. Here is a student hard at work smoothing out the edges. 

  

Getting Things Framed!

We are finally getting things framed for the Mendel Art Gallery exhibition! The exhibition runs from July 3rd to August 19th. There is also an opening reception July 11th from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. It is free for anyone to attend! Now here are some glimpses of what will be on display.

Above are all Shakespearean houses 

 And below are a sampling of Shakespearean shoes.

So we hope you come out to the Mendel Art Gallery sometime this summer to see our artwork!!!

Proof of banner

We have a proof of the banner. It is not to scale but it is exciting to see it on the correct material that it will be printed on.

Learn your ABC's!

Hey viewers! We have got the grade one alphabet book for you today!! They worked super hard on these. Hope you enjoy! These are actually going to be made into a large book, and the grade eights are helping the kindergartens make these into a huge book, much like the E.L.O book, and the grade fives costume book!

Awwwwww, the drawings are so cute!

So say I, madam, if he run away away, as I hear he does:

the danger is in standing to't, that's the loss of

men, though it will be the getting of children. Here

they come to tell you more: For my part, I only hear

your son was run away.
