I gave my sculpture students a fall semester survey to get their feedback on the class so far. One of my questions was for them to make a list of words and phrases that communicate their feelings about their art making. I used wordle.net to make a word cloud of my student's word lists. After typing in all of their words, Presto! A word cloud was formed! BUT, I found out you can't search for your word cloud on their site, but could paste the html into your blog, which I have done. The resolution isn't great for this post, but I've created a link above to the original word cloud. Much nicer. The biggest words were the ones that were the most frequently listed, with the smallest words being the least frequently used. Fun stuff.
!Art is Everywhere! Welcome to my Art Blog! This year I'm teaching Art I, Art 2, Pre-AP Art 2, Sculpture 1 and Pre-AP Sculpture 2 to 9th & 10th grade high school students. There is never enough time in class to cover all of the art I want to, so this Blog can keep you in touch with the adventure I have outside of class. Check it out and follow the path...

My sculpture students' thoughts about making art

it is a very well written and great article that gets right to the point. You could use a little reworking of the blog layout though, but the design is overall very nice.
