Part Art Part Smart: One more.

So I have one more lesson to write for my unit to be complete. Granted, I still have to do a teacher example for one of my completed lessons, but still, one more! Two lessons I have are done on paper, 2-D. The bridge lesson is obviously 3-D. And large. And a group project. So I've been hesitating to start the next because I want to be able to bridge them together. ...briiiiddggee... hahahaha I didn't mean to do that!

Matt and Rachel B.'s lesson today got me to thinking about toothpicks, since that's what my group was working with. I remember seeing an artist who used toothpicks on my favorite, ever faithful blog, Sweet Station. Steven J. Backman was the artist's name, and he makes itty bitty building models made of tooth picks, and huge undulating sculptures made of thousands of toothpicks and everything in between including contour "drawings" of toothpicks. His website? www.toothpickart.com. Wha-bam. So I'm thinking this will be my long lesson! Bridge lesson is one day, paper construction is 2 days, written portrait is 2 to 3 days. I'm thinking, this should be a good 5-dayer.
