The Clouds


 Marjory Wentworth wrote a poem about how how Billy Collins writes poems.  

She says that it's important to look at the smallest things.

We read Wentworth's poem and then we read Collins' poem called Student of Clouds.  It's about the artist John Constable who was great at painting clouds.  If you don't believe me, check it out.

Every Wednesday, we create Lynda Barry inspired self portraits.  Yesterday, we drew ourselves as clouds.  

We spend an important amount of time doodling and noodling around in Thirdland.
