Week of Oct. 9th

     Welcome to Halloween in the art room. Various individuals would like to demean and lessen the fun that Halloween is. In fact, being scared is actually one of the fundamental feeling of being alive. Our body doesn't know the difference between certain 'feelings'. What is 'exciting' to our body is exciting. No matter what. Halloween fits into this category. Granted, it has been commercialized from certain fall pagan ceremonies. However, the spirit of what Halloween is, is the joy of being frightened and entertained. I, for one, enjoy this and from what I have seen most of us in the art room do as well.
     Since this is a 'short week' we will be starting several lessons, with the hope of having a 'good critique' the following friday. However, as this year as gone, that may not happen.
