Residency- Venice Arts- Issa Sharpe- 4 Hours
After two long weeks of break, the class reunited. I missed them! This was a really great class, we had a visitor from NASA come and tell the class about how they photograph planets, their studies on Mars and Titan, and their predictions for the future. I learned that there are many Earth-like planets in various solar systems, and also, that NASA is working to send a rover to mars that will use a rocket to send a specimen back. That honestly really scares me: an invasive species from Mars... The presentation was fascinated, by went on a little too long to maintain the interest of 10-13-year-olds. However, I was really impressed by some of the student's questions at the end. One student asked, "Is space evolving or does it stay constant".
After the presentation, the students worked on writing articles for their predictions. We spent about a half hour doing this. Then, we worked on making collages for the cover of our zine. We had less than a half hour to do so, so the class mainly just cut up old Life Magazines in search for images that related to their topic.
