I am excited to get back to Community Stepping Stones and have my teens and even younger kids to explore the flag book and the one page zine. I am going to come up with a way to have them combine the exercises to come up with a really interesting piece of art work. It will work really well with teens, because of the growing culture of zines. They are really popular in my area, and I have several teens that are producing full length zines.
Making the zines will give them insight into book construction, and the wax transfers will give them practice with painting and washes. Most of my kids have the motor skills and patience to make either of the projects. I can really see everyone enjoying making the books together, and then having their own personality come through with their images and decisions they make. I know the flag book and zine project will be successful and I cant wait to get into the classroom and translate it into a learning experience for my kids.
