Rise and shine (or whatever).

Steps:

1. Outer space.

2.  Inner space.

3.  This is a copying drawing.

After you press “Play” below to start the iconic 1970s Pink Floyd hit “Us and Them,” copy this photo of the cast of my Grade 2 production of The Wizard of Oz.

You need to strike a balance between striving for precision and detail and completing the entire image in the just-less-than-eight-minutes time limit.  Think about Lynda Barry’s advice: this is a map, made up of a collection of spatially related lines.

4.  Title: “The Wizard of Oz, 1978.”

5.  Date it.

6.  File it somewhere safe and organized so that we can look at it together later.

Fun fact: rumor has it that if you start the Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon at the third roar of the MGM lion at the beginning of the movie of The Wizard of Oz, the music and the film sync up in unexpected but satisfying ways.  This phenomena is called “The Dark Side of the Rainbow“!

Challenge: bragging rights to the first person who, in our Class Meeting, can enter into the chat the name of the character I played in the play.  Hint: I got to reuse part of my Halloween costume from earlier that school year.

See you at 10:00!
