Week of October 3rd through 6th

Well, another great trip to the St. James Art Show in Louisville, KY. With all the extras going on this year, including homecoming, it really added a bit of stress to Mrs. Russell and I but in the end....ALL WENT GREAT! The students very thankful and appreciative of the trip. Which means a lot to Mrs. Russell and I. One great observation I overhead from a lot of the student this year was the lack of proletariat art. I agree. Though we are in 'old' Louisville, the need to see and interact with practicing artist that are 'more' like us is important. Nonetheless, the potters, artisans, painters, and puppermakers that make the event so enjoyable are working class people. Just like us. Viva the proletariat! :)
     Needless to say, since we are in Oct. we are kicking into 'Halloween' mode with design and construction of the haunted house in Downtown Russell. Dr. Decker and I will be posting some pictures of our ideas soon.
