One day, The Walt Whitman Video Club made chalk drawings on the neighborhood sidewalks. Here is one by Claire and Berlie. Although Claire and Berlie were not thinking of it at the time, they later said that the story reminded them of the earthquake in Haiti; many other students had a similar reaction. As the sun set in Flatbush, night also fell in the chalk drawing, adding to the symbolism and power of story.

This fall, we have been discussing the themes of identity and community. We have done projects focusing on names- what they mean and where they are from. Here is a chalk drawing animation by Latea, Denisia, and Barbara in which their names and identities are expressed though design and color (not to mention matching shoes), and music.

Thank you Mr. Thornhill and Ms. Caughman for making these trips possible. The kids had a great time exploring the campus and doing the scavenger hunt, as well as doing arts workshops with Miss Arin…check out some of the photos:

We spent a day cutting out shapes for our scenes, which turned into a nice day at the park (except for some brief inclement weather). The next day we animated the scene by using frame by frame animation. At the end of the day, some really adorable monsters showed up and ate everything in the scene.
