Alice Young: Parade Days

Parade Days

This was a project that my students completed about a month ago. I didn't post earlier because each student finish at their own pace, and I was too lazy to put the pictures together in Photoshop. But here is the finished artwork! This project was inspired by the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade: big balloons walked through a crowded city. What do you think?

What a fun project! I love the ice cream and robot balloons. And I spy multiple penguins too. Great project idea!

I love the details in the close-ups, like facial hair and doorknobs! Ha, so cute.

You play the kazoo?! What kind of kazoo do you have? Plastic or metal? The singer in the video has a plastic one, but I just checked amazon and I see they have metal ones, too. I'm not going to actually get one until after the semester ends, but I'm curious which kind you play.

Aww! You're leaving me a message!

I ♥:

the smell of wet asphalt, hedges, stepping on dry crunchy leaves, red brick walls, cool breezes on a warm day, the warmth of the sun on a cold day, writing my name into a new book, singing, the process of getting to know a person, paper, hand-written notes from friends, subtlety, being driven around (as opposed to driving), brown paper bags, blowing dandelions, my friends being happy, writing with a pencil, making people laugh, holding a warm mug when it is cold, drinking tea, sticking my face out the window of a moving car, being barefoot & in pajamas, the fact you've read this far.
