Filthy Fifty

Today's CrossFit WOD was a killer. The name is exactly what it was, diiiiirty. The time cap for the WOD was 35 minutes and I barely got it in at 33:40. The burpees at the end literally almost killed me. Still, I never imagined that I would ever be able to do 10 of these without dying, let alone 50. After 6 months of CrossFit, I am pretty impressed with what my body is capable of doing.

Picasso

For art last week, we focused on Picasso and the cubism period. I showed them a variety of different Picasso cubist works and we discussed the different elements of each. Then, we created our own cubist self-portraits using Picasso's Head of a Woman as our inspiration:

First, we drew the shape of our heads very lightly. Then, we sketched half of our face facing forward and on the other half we drew our profile. Some of my students decided to draw their profile facing the out. It was fun to see how the kiddos chose to portray themselves. Here is mine: 

(One of my kids said it looked like a witch. I wasn't at all offended!) 

 I encouraged the students to use a lot of different colors as Picasso did in his other cubist works. Here are a few of the finished pieces:

Decisions, decisions

You know those days when you feel like you have 0 clothes in your closet, nothing fits right, the weather suddenly changes from its forecast, and you only have like 15 minutes to get ready? Yeah, that was today for me. Hence, the pile of clothes on top of my bed. I usually try not to wear jeans except for Fridays but today I felt like making an exception. I wasn't crazy about this outfit, but I had to just settle and get out of the house!
