Fagnoon with 7th graders

FAGNOON ART CENTER



















So we took our pre-teen monsters on a field trip to this neat-o art center here on the outskirts of Cairo. It was such a great place. The kids were encouraged to climb, crawl and run around this big hammock-like area made of tightly-pulled fabric strips. They loved it.

Then we divided them into three groups and headed off to the art making areas. They made clay objects using rustic pottery wheels, they silk screened using paper templates, and then they painted on a wall and on small canvas boards.

I was able to purchase a small silkscreen kit for under 10 bucks!

A fun day for all.
