BEING PART OF THE ART STARZ SOCIETY IS REALLY KOOL ******** WE HAVE BEEN LEARNING A LOT ABOUT OTHER THINGS: FORTS AND BLOGGING! *****

Dear Readers,

I am proud to announce (drumroll please) NEWS! Yes, it is true, yesterday we were back at school. More importantly, we were back at Art Stars!!! Yesterday, we started Art Stars with an exercise that mostly consisted of the following: (1:) Get a piece of paper, and cut it long ways into very thin strips. (2:) Color or decorate the strips. (3:) Weave the strips together. (4:) Somehow make it into a “basket”. (Note: I’m not exactly sure how to make it into a basket. Andrew, maybe you could explain…) Anyways, after warm up, we started three basic projects. The first one was the most interesting. We took a roll of felt (?) and somehow made it into 25 (estimating) strips. Here is how. We took the roll, and affixed it to a chair. The chair actually had a hole in it, so we took the beginning of the felt strip, and pulled it through the hole. Then we had two pullers (Sam and Myself) who would run a certain length with the felt, and we had a designated cutter (Flannery) whom of which cuts the felt. Each one, I would say, is 10 feet tall. I probably am wrong, so don’t trust me. Then we took 10 strips and laid them out vertically. Now we took 10 other strips and weaved them under and over the vertical strips. This was all we could do with that today.

Also we did some hilarious photos with a certain cookie dubbed ‘Freddie the Fish’, and made him the head of certain people. I am positive this will somehow be on the Internet (check Flickr).

Also Andrew and I played an new version of Exquisite Corpse. It was fun. Now my features:

Dear readers,

February vacation is almost over, therfore, it is time for Art Starz to come back. This Monday and ednesday program has always been fun. I truly can not imagine Mondays without it (or Wednesdays.) It takes the most boring days of the week and converts them to pure bliss. Art Stars is awesome.

When my mom first told me about it, I was quite uncertain. I went and loved it! I am addicted to it, and I am sure most people who came to it were too.

Before Art Staz, almost all of my friends were at my school, in my class. Now my class dwindles (I only have 11 kids in my grade.)p, and many of my friends are not here anymore. True, I am friends with all in my class, but I would like more.

Then when came to Art Starz guess what happened? I befriended everyone there. To all my pals in Art Starz today, and to anyone who has the pride, priveledge, and pleasure of going to such a program as Art Stars, I dedicate this post to you. I dedicate this post to the cheese-cube crushers. I dedicate this post to the makers of soap carving. I dediate it to the makers of “The Secret of Williams Well.” I dedicate it to the book demolishers. I dedicate it to the bloggers extaordinare. I dedicate it to Art Stars.

Art Stars, you have taught your students well. Before you I couldn’t draw for my life. Now… I still can’t draw for my life, but I know words like tetrahedron, and the firetruck red has blue in it.

I say, Art Stars is perfect for me, or any student for that matter.

I love Art starz.

Dear Readers,

It is snowing on this lovely day in Providence Rhode Island. At first there was a lot of snow, then it really died down. Now it is thicker than before. This might be the storm of the season! Snow is truly beautiful. Snow has many wonderful uses.

Firstly, snow is beautiful. There is a humongous amount of artwork that reflects the snow’s beauty. Secondly, snow is a symbol. Snow (at least ideal snow) is perfectly white. Not too cold, but not watery. Not too fluffy, but not hard as ice. Perfect. What all men strive to be. And both snow and mankind are perfect. Why? Snow is collective, like mankind. You can’t say “I took a snow from the ground.” Well neither can you say, “I am a mankind.” No, no. However, you can refer to a snowflake or a human being. Each of these is different. Each of these is an individual, and different. No two human beings or snowflakes can ever be the same. If they were the same, they would not function. They would have no soul. They would be pointless. All snowflakes are snow, and all humans are mankind, but each is different. Therefore a friendship is a snowball…

I digress.

Thirdly, snow is a source of water for the word. Fun Fact: Snow is ice. Wow. I am so skillful. The point is, snow is ice, and ice is water, therefore, without snow, there would not be water. Interesting… Fourthly, without snow plants would die. I know this seems like a stretch, but, hear me out. In the winter, it is very cold (WOW I AM A GENIUS : ) ). This cold would surely kill the flowers. However, the snow falls down. You you’d think this would kill the flowers, right, I mean, snow is cold. However, when a blanket of snow falls, it acts as just that; a blanket. Think about it. A blanket (not an electric blanket) or even clothes, really, doesn’t make any heat of it’s own, right. Well why do we feel warmer in clothes? Because they trap the heat we already have. Same principal for the flowers. What would happen if there were no plants? We would die in multiple ways. One: We would have no oxygen, and carbon dioxide would kill us through global warming. Two: The herbivore would die, then the predators, then the carnivores and omnivores. That would be scary. Kudos for snow!

I digress (AGAIN!!!)

Fifthly, snowmen would just be men.

Comments.

Dear Readers,

I know what you are thinking, “Has Aaron lost his mind?!”No he hasn’t. I have been writing these ‘random posts’ for good reason. By random posts I mean: “Comments Galore” About all of my aliases. “February Vacation”, about the history of the month February. And, “Blog Facts” About blogs. The reason is there is no Art Stars in February Vacation this year. I must say, I’m sorry for the randomness, but remember I still have my features. Soon enough there will e real news to report.

Kittens! (If you didn’t catch it, that was the random thing.)

Pun: What greek myth do bears like? PANDAra’s box.

Trivia: What is xenophobia?

Aaron.

Post script: Answer- Fear or hatered of strange new things or people.

WELCOME TO THE “OFFICAL” WEBSITE OF FORT ROCHAMBEAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi! in this after-school program we make forts, drawings, printings, e.t.c. and put them together in this website. We also include photos of what we do in class.(Which is also on flikr.) If you think this site is plain boring, well don’t be down, we might be putting videos on this site! (I hope!) 

Readers, I have a new name that I am being publically displayed as. Aaron Theoffice-Lover. This is my official name, temporarily. But seeing that I have nothing to tell you, I will tell you all of my aliases so far. There’s:

Aaron (Duh!) This is for my most rational comments. Michael Jackson. I only used him twice, at the very beginning. Silence Dogood. For all you history buff’s out there this is a joke. Benjamin Franklin at age 15 wrote to his brother’s newspaper 14 letters, all signed by Silence Dogood. (Fun Fact: Eventually his brother, James Franklin, found out and exposed Ben with a letter from “Hugo Grim”). Tom (at “tom@aol.com). He is not real. Get over it. A. Pearson. Firstly, who signs a comment like the author would for a book? Also, it sounds like “a person”. Ha-ha. Scott Schrute. An office joke! Last names of two main characters (Michael Scott, and Dwight Schrute.) Amanda Hugginkiss. I demand a hug and kiss (Classic Bart Simpson). Frankie is real. He is my cousin. Both Michael and Michael Gary Scott are the same person. Main character of the office (again). Toby Flenderson, a depressed HR rep from the Office (again!) who Michael Gary Scott (Yes, again!!!) hates.

Wow. Knock those out, and all the ones from Joe, Flannery, Winnie, Andrew, and Sam (and others from Art Stars) and you get a whopping 4 real comments.

Once again Wow.

Now for my features.

Pun: What did the feline animal do on the golf course? CATty.
