Hi Jennifer! Here goes: The artwork is strung together with jute twine. O rings would work too, but we suspend the panels from the ceiling and it might become too heavy with the rings. So we just use string and knot the artwork together. The art piece you’re wondering about is inspired by Paul Klee’s “Highway and Byways”. This project involved measuring and thinking about fractions as the kids divided up their paper, and ties in to our school goal of encouraging the students to work with fractions in all classes. The kids painted with watercolor on an 8 1/2 x 14 piece of copy paper. Before giving them the paper, I photocopied pages from a book so there would be a background of text and symbols on their work. The kids also rubbed crayons – warm or cool colors – on the paper for additional texture. They drew the lines with a large permanent marker. You can see more of these images at our Artsonia gallery here: http://www.artsonia.com/museum/gallery.asp?exhibit=637120 It looks like I never did a blog post on the project – I will have to do that soon! Hope this helps – thanks for stopping by! -Josey

Ted, you will love Animoto…you can do 30 second vids for FREE – the longer ones cost some $$. You just upload your pix, choose some tunes, and bam, you have a sweet video!
