The blank canvas is not what inspires awe, rather it is the beauty of the colors and the manner in which they have been applied on it.... So, here I am "Passing the Paintbrush" let's see what awe we can inspire together!

Original Works Ordders Just Arrived today!

Original Works Orders just came in today... Over the next few days I will be organizing and getting these ready to come home with students.  I will do my very best to check and be sure that every order is correct correct and there are no errors, however, being human and all... I am bound to miss something, if I do, please send back your order receipt, the item you ordered that is not correct or that is damaged and the artwork, in the event it is an issue with the image taken of your artwork.  I will make efforts to get all corrections made and filed with the company to get your items to you before the Thanksgiving holiday break! Thanks again for al lthose that ordered and participated in the fundraising effort this year. We are lucky to be at such a fabulous school and withthese funds fabulous things can start to come to our school art room! Thanks and look forward to your orders coming home this week!

Q100 was able to meet their 400,000 leters for the troops and so our letters and cards created will be on their way to somewhere around the world to Thank a Service member this Thanksgiving.... I am putting up some hoilday art at the school and our message board will be up again real soon! Come by and check it all out! Also, many of the students are either weaving or creating clay projects... please remember NOT to send your students to school in their best clothes on ART day... I try and make arrangements to not do anything too messy on Picture day, however, please remember we are creating and learning every class and sometimes that requires us to be prepared in our wardrobe.

I started the count down to the Turkey Festivities this weekend... .I can't wait for football and Turkey! Grades are coming along but look for students to have notes coming home regarding any grading concerns and keep in mind that those grades can change from one class period to the next.  Thanks for all your help and support by having those iumportant conversations with your students regarding the importance of aiming HIGH for their personal best in effort and by showing respect, as our school rules reflect the importance of this mostly. GREAT things happening in art! Look for some more pictures soon!
