After reading several books from the My Weird School Series by Dan Gutman, my classroom decided that it would be fun to create our own weird school story. We had decided from the beginning that the main character of our story would be our colony supervisor, Mrs. Barclay. Since all titles in the Weird School Series rhyme, we thought it was only appropriate to also have a title that rhymed and so the class created Mrs. Barclay is Sparkly.
This project was a collaborative effort. We knew that we wanted each grade to have their own chapter in the story. Each group of students was responsible for brainstorming ideas for their chapter. I then helped them develop their ideas into a chapter. Each grade was also responsible for providing the illustrations for their chapters.

Jason Logan is a Toronto-based artist, inkmaker and forager. He began his career as an illustrator in New York City and became interested in natural sources of pigment when his children were born. This documentary, organized by colour, takes us into Jason’s world, highlighting his curiosity, spirit of experimentation and creativity as he gathers natural and botanical materials throughout his travels and transforms them into ink, working like a mad scientist of sorts. For Jason, the creation of ink becomes a vehicle for connecting and relationship building with artists and other creatives from around the world. This mini lesson invites students to analyze where art materials come from by looking at the impact of drawing on the natural world to make ink. They will also explore concepts of permanence and ephemerality and can engage in geographically tracking the movement of Logan’s inks from place to place. The mini lesson also creates opportunities for students to research an individual artist represented in the film, and finally to work in pairs to make ink for one another.
