Week of Jan 22-25

This week will be quite interesting. Not only were we out for Martin Luther King Jr Day, but we will be out this coming thursday for the Boys All 'A' State Tournament in Frankfort. Three days a work week is alright. However, it doesn't do an art room any good. Day = work. Needless to say, we will be critiquing tuesday and then 'starting' our new assignments. This short week should help Art I with their ceramics project drying.

Week of Dec. 10-14

We have, officially, two week until winter break. This time of year is hard, for all of us, to focus on the task at hand. This certainly includes me. However, we will finish out the physical year with two assignments. AP, remember, thought there are a lot of your submitting, regardless if you are or NOT, you must have a completed AP style portfolio to me by the AP deadline. The midway date or half portfolio check is Dec. 19th. Do not put yourself in academic trouble simply due to your own laziness. REMEMBER: Half of your AP portfolio serves as your semester exam and grade.

Week Dec. 3- 7 Ain't Nobody Got Time for THAT!

   
Whole lota painting going on in the art room these past and coming weeks. Pretty much all projects have been extend from last week to this week. So, for the most part lesson plans for this week should look quite similar to last. Big congratulations to many various art students that qualified for Nationals with the BETA Club. Recognition and awards are good & fine, though never a measuring stick to actual art, but it only goes to show how many TALENTED students we have in our school. Not just academics. Not just athletic. We have students that are talented in various places that most 'educators' rarely look. We are those that are touched by God. Namaste.

As always it's quite busy back in the art room. However, we need to make a special attempt to clean and clean out materials and brushes. I ain't yo momma & I'm sure yo momma don't clean brushes.
