JIm Dine HEarts

Most years I teach some sort of lesson on this artist. This year a goal of mine was to use more clay and I found a new way to teach the artist.
Students learned how to roll out a ball of clay and draw into it cutting out a design of a heart. They then used stamps and recycled materials such as bubble wrap to add texture.
This year we also studied the poetry of e.e. cummings.

[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]

BY E. E. CUMMINGS
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
