Going with the district theme this year
of Unfold Your Future we got together as
a group of teacher at our professional
development how we could create
something that symbolize unfolding your future.
The idea of the fortune teller
that you'd use as a kid. You'd open it
up and look at a tab and it says two and
one, two, three, four and then you go from
there and tells you who you're gonna marry
or whatever so we decide we're going to
create some sort of installation using
the fortune teller.
We just didn't quite know what so we had
to come look at the space which we're at
here now and we just sort of started
joining the fortune tellers to create
just a sculptural movement.

It's kind of what we teach the kids in art
every single day. We're giving you
this thing to create; how do we get the
pieces to adjoin and so it takes a lot
of problem solving and the hang-ups
really come in from the accidents that
kind of come along the way.
How do I hang a 24-foot thing of paper, you know? How
many people have done this before?
How do we hang it in this space if we're
gonna get it to probably about 20 feet
18 feet in the air. We're trying to figure out
how the strings will work with this properly.
The light from the skylight should
show through this and create some forms
and lines that'll be really pleasing to
the eye and so that's when it's really
at its best when it's hung up.

Every art teacher in the district at
professional development sat down and was
holding the fortune tellers one of these
is theirs. Definitely it's a district
project which I think kind of brings it
back full circle of unfolding your
future between the dialogue between
the teachers and the students.
