iPhone Art

Trying out an app called ArtStudio on my iPhone.  Attempting to get back into my very brief foray into drawing.  

My first iPhone sketch is below.

Girl Scout Badges: Let's start an adventure

Over the last two days we have made a couple of trips to the Girl Scout Store in Beaver, PA. Arianna bridged to Brownies, so we bought her the Brownie Binder. Yesterday we stopped back and bought the badge activity kits, this way we can use the summer to start earning some badges. Each badge is a five step process and some of the activities are better suited for summer, when we have more time to work on them.

As a volunteer troop leader this will give me experience to better work with the troop as a whole this upcoming year.

Today, Arianna organized her binder and we began making a template to keep organized with her badge efforts. She helped me create a Google Doc which we will share with others using my wiki.

Once the site is ready I will post the link here and in one of my other blogs.

Summer Break

As summer break is starting I am mixing online Summer School duties, family duties, vacation prepping, summer projects, and getting caught up on things that I have fallen behind on while the school year was ending.  Such a blissful time...

I did come across some cool PD ideas and a great educational chat on Twitter this evening, but those are later posts for my professional blog located at http://mrsal.edublogs.org.

Stories for the Future

A friend of mine was telling me a story about a dream he had...he was negotiating with Saddam Hussien to free American prisoners.  During negotiations Saddam tasted my family's Easter Pizza recipe and  loved it; it became part of the negotiations.

I want to work on writing up dream into a story and video...we shall see how that goes.

First drawing

Here is my most recent drawing...it is not finished...hit a block.

I need more practice, but that is okay.  I have the rest of my life to improve.

Art

I have recently begun to use an app called PicsArt on my iPhone.  It allows me to snap photos of my drawings and post them online.  

I guess I could do that here to, but the app is set ip specifically for art.  You can also edit and draw on the app, which you cannot do in Blogger.

My username there is very original: dominicsalvucci.  Check it out.

High Flyer

I saw this spider in its web out the third floor window of our school so I snapped a picture.

Congregation

This post was started in March.

Saturday,, March 15, we stopped by Market Square in Pittsburgh, PA to check out the last weekend of Congregation, an interactive laser light show that was set up.  Congregation tracks the crowd and integrates people into the presentation with both cameras and lasers.  You can read more about it here, and I will link pictures of the event too.
