THE BIG REVEAL - PART THREE

EARTH LOOM

ADVANCED 3-D ART

part three

I think I have mentioned before that we have a class that does a LIVE Broadcast

 every day for all our students and community.

Mr. Z (Rod Ziolkowski) teaches this class called Multimedia Communications period 2,

but the students are responsible for the entire show

 from production to direction to editing, writing, camera, grips, set design,

the list is long.

All our students look forward to this daily LIVE broadcast 

that goes at 9:00 a.m. during their homeroom classes.

It showcases our students & staffs many talents & personalities,

introduces new staff members,

goes on location around the city to interview & show off people, new places & eateries.

At anytime you could go online and pull it up to watch each day's video

at Whitney High School Live.

Well Mr. Z,

who walks by my classroom several times a day, 

was fascinated watching the kids weaving on the loom.

He asked if his LIVE show could feature seniors Shreya Sheth & Jacqueline Yu.

Of course I was thrilled for them,

and said Yes!

They were excited when I told them but a bit apprehensive & anxious.

Understandable.

So they took the finished weaving off  the loom and placed it on display in the office,

re-warped the loom,

chose a different weft (chenille yarns),

 and wove a bit to get this new one started before going on the live show,

and of course picked matching outfits

because they are a team!

They went LIVE on camera where they were interviewed by the moderator,

and demonstrated the weaving process.

Here you can see the new weft yarns and landscape design.

Shreya wove while Jac described what she was doing 

so that hopefully all our students & staff will take a turn on this loom.

I'm so terribly proud of these two girls,

not only have they impacted the Arts here at Whitney, 

but they have touched all the students & staff with their creation

here in the Whitney Community.

They will be back again to show you how this current weaving turns out.
