The first project introduced pareidolia, and she began by displaying the word on the screen and asked the students to try to pronounce it. Their attempts were adorable. Then, pareidolia was defined and examples were shown. A photo of clouds was left on the screen for about 3-5 minutes, and we listened to all the things the students thought they saw in the clouds. After that, the work of Carolina Maggio was viewed and discussed. The project for this lesson was for the students to make work similar to Maggio’s. The students would used powdered tempera paint and splatter it onto paper with brushes, spoons, and straws. After it would dry, the students would use a sharpie marker to create images based on the way their paint landed on the paper.
