So, round 1 of the dress like a crazy commenced today...
Not quite doppelgangers, but I think we look pretty related, right? Now, my outfit doesn't come close to my blog crush, but I do what I can sans sewing machine. Hear that hubs?! My birfday will be here soooon.
Lemme tell you what, teaching with an apple in front of my face all day was tricky. There were many a moment where I ended up rocking the backwards hat look, circa 1990. Yeah, that's right Justin Bieber, you belong in the 90's.
Or maybe just not in the United States circa any era, mmmkay?
We kicked off the lesson reading Dinner at Magritte's, which unfortunately is out of print, so track it down if you can! The author/illustrator does a fabulous job taking inspiration from Magritte and Dali's work, both of whom are characters in the story.
Time Transfixed, 1938
We also looked at a LOT of Magritte's pieces. My third graders couldn't get enough. So many smarty arty students couldn't wait to contribute to our class discussion of his work. When they found out that Time Transfixed was here in Chicago, you woulda thought I told them Bieber was visiting our Art Room. I had FOUR different parents come up to me after school to tell me that their kiddos couldn't wait to check it out. Yep, that's right kiddos, get off your sofas and put down your handheld electro boxes, and go look at some art!
Sixteenth of September, 1956
The Sixteenth of September was our piece de resistance and the whole inspiration behind our project.
Check out the mini Magrittes in progress. I will post the final products once they're finished...
