Clock of Success
The greatest gift from a teacher is success, for success fertilises the desire for more success and nourishes self esteem.
A student, typically, is the hardest assessor of their own work. So, the creation of work where students feel their own success is the art of teaching.
This piece of work began with the donation of fifty quartz clock mechanisms.
How can we get success out of these?
Our creative pallet has plywood, bold nontoxic colours and friends who love to wave a brush.
We do not have fine motor skills. My task is to design a clock with simple shapes that can be painted a single colour then stapled together. There must be no lines to intimidate the collective lack of confidence.

| Here is the prototype. If the resulting clocks are cool, we will use them as a fund raiser. |
Over the next few weeks, we will see if the teacher feels successful.
