A Summer At IS183: Reflection from 4th week at IS183

This was the second (and last) week of the Mad Hatter's camp; this week, the students finished up their stop motion, and made puppets and sets for a final, collaborative movie. They also made masks and finished up their pottery for the art show on Friday!

I was SO impressed at just how well all of their work came together; particularly the films! Each individual work was so detail-oriented and well developed, and so when they all came together for the collaborative film, it was FANTASTIC. So creative and cute, plus well-made...

I will post some photos here for you to see. As far as the videos go, I can't post the DVD copy I received, but you can view the Mad Hatter camp's videos on IS183's VIMEO account: http://vimeo.com/is183. (Not all of the videos may be up just yet, but if you check back, the film teacher said she will be updating the Mad Hatter's link on that page!)

I made a plaster mask, too! We molded them right to our faces...

...and then decorated them! All in the theme of a "Mad Hatter's Tea Party..." (I ended up giving my mask to a student who wasn't at camp the day we made them.)

Final sets finishing up, and figuring out how to shoot our collaborative movie!

And some more Lego stop motion... and even MORE Lego stop motion!

Making the Rabbi for our collaborative wedding stop motion video...

And making the bride and groom's chambers, where they will get ready before the wedding!

And Mr. Wolfe's apartment in progress

(A drawing I did during free drawing time/cleanup at the end of the day!)

Check out our awesome spread for the wedding film! They are all tiny erasers that are shaped like food... perfect size for our puppets! Thanks, Student C., for collecting all of these and trusting us with them!
