Munny Monday
We kicked off this year's annual National Design Week with none other than Munny Monday.To elaborate, a Munny is a vinyl toy, which can be customized through airbrushing. This was a lunchtime event in which students of all skill sets pick up a template in Schaller's room, grab a seat, and draw themselves a Munny. Once the drawing is done, the students then submit the Munny which will then be judged during the art show, each winner is then awarded their own Munny to customize.
Paper Toy Tuesday
The second day of National Design Week is celebrated by the construction of adorable little paper craft characters. In Room P-1, during lunch, students pile in and pick out their soon-to-be paper toy, starting out with a printed template, the paper figurine is the cut out, folded, glued, then enjoyed.
Mural Wednesday
A relatively new edition to our National Design Week line up is the mural. This being our second year doing it, we chose the theme of Zombies at the Beach, which produced a most creative and hilarious result. Our best and pretty okay artists came out of the woodwork to add their touch to our great big mural of awesomeness!
Feast Thursday
On Thursday, we celebrated National Design Week in the best way possible, with delicious food! We had the culinarily talented tri-tip expert, Bruce Nix cater our lavish affair. Each student happily piled into Schaller's room, and quickly into line to receive their delicious lunch while the other students outside cried a river tears wishing they could be a part of the festivities. Upon finishing our super awesome tri- tip, salad, bread, chicken, and beans we then feasted upon the delicious desserts brought in by students, after which we concluded the feast with casual conversation and much laughter.
Art Fight Friday
Arguably one the most exciting events, Friday consisted of a fast paced and competitive art fight, which is a head-to-head battle of art skill where each artist is given paper, a pen, five random objects to draw, and a time limit, and the one who gets the favor of the audience advances to the next round. This year, after 3 rounds or so, ROP I student, Eryka Cervantez walked away as our champion! Thus concluding National Design Week.
