Coming up with ideas for Calendar Art can be difficult. This is something that needs to reflect the students, be of a high quality and be something that is pleasing to the eye for a 12 month period.  To add student choice into the mix is just asking to over complicated the situation.  We finally settled on art that allowed us to explore line, shape and colour AND was something that look good.

This art required painter's tape.  One thing we all learned from this experience is that there is a reason that some things cost more than others.  In my defence, I am sure everyone can empathise standing in the un-named yet NZ owned and operated well known hardware store, looking at 2 options. Six rolls of tape for $60ish or 3 rolls of tape for $16ish.  Big price difference and ultimately too tempting for me.  I decided to get a single blue roll for $10 and 2 packs of the 3 rolls for $32ish.  The cheaper tape ripped the paper when removed.  The more expensive tape had a better finish than the cheaper tape.  So... I was sent off to buy some higher quality and higher costing tape.  However... the Delta Variant arrived on our shores.

Here are some of the practice creations Room 21 students made.
