what they noticed 10 - train

Portions continue from one class period on Tuesday, Nov.17th. Sharing painted panels with art students at Carrollton Elementary School, in Carrollton, MO  (Students are unnamed)  Double click on images to enlarge.

Karl Marxhausen: Next. Hold it up high.


A student with Long Hair Pink and Grey outfit (LHPG) walks over and holds up 7 3/4 x 24 inch panel.
"We have this. And it kind of looks like a sunset or sunrise. At first I thought is was going to be smoke coming out of a train. But it doesn't look like, it's just kind of a sunset or sunrise. " LHPG
KM: Does it say anything on the back?

LGPG: 5 - 30 - 06

KM: (stands up to take panel, stops, looks at back and asks LGPG)  There is one thing I want to add to this. OH, WAIT!!! (to LGPG)  ARE YOU going to say anything ABOUT THAT??!!!  (I go back to sit down and listen)(below image has words. Double click to read them)


LGPG: (student peers close to read pencil words on back of panel) It says:"brown org. lower branches. sand grey upper trunks." (trying to make sense of the words)

KM: (helps students out, takes panel) Okay this is a SERIOUS THING. Now this is a PROBLEM THING. (to LGPG) Just stay up here.

LGPG: Okay.

KM: Why don't you hold that end, please. (to class) ON THE BACK SIDE HERE, SHE FOUND SOME NOTATIONS. Written right on the board, that talks about THE COLORS and stuff, but the things mentioned here have nothing to do with the front side. Does anybody, RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS. Why a person would WRITE SOMETHING ON A BOARD????  (points to hand raised) Yes, the one In The Stripes (ITS). Speak up.

ITS: It's like, they had an idea, but then they liked it better and decided to change it.

KM: Yeah, yeah. YOU CAN WRITE ON BOARDS and stuff. (points to hand raised) Go ahead.

A Student Near (SN): Like, THE COLORS YOU THOUGHT OF USING FOR THE PAINTING.

KM: When you are looking at something you are painting you are thinking: WHAT IS THAT COLOR?  WHAT COLORS MIGHT I USE TO MAKE THAT COLOR? (to LGPG) Excellent. Thank you.

LGPG: Uh huh (okay). (goes to sit down)

DECIPHERED WRITING reads: 
"brown org. 
lower branches. 
sand grey upper trunks. 
maroon back bank tree. 
sand grey grass. 
blue cream sky. 
org brick to right. 
org roof to green bins."


Next student steps forward to present.
