Show Me The Art Work!!!

Okay, Ladies.
I had to cancel my painting class, so I don't have anything to show you yet.
But I am hoping that SOME of you are working on art and have some things to show us.

If you do please take a few minutes to post some images of what you have done so we can see what you're doing. We need to put some excitement into this post and get things going.

Show Me The Art Work!!!   ~Mrs. B

Hey everyone! I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd share a new way to be inspired to create new works: MOVIES! Yesterday, I was watching the movie "Up" in the room where I normally do my artwork and I thought of all the places and settings I could put that crazy little house in. "Up" was the inspiration for my landscape drawing. Can't wait to show you all!

i hope this works......

HEY GUYSSSS!!!!!
Sooo i finally got on!! I really hope this works because i was getting really confused! i hope everyones summers going well and i cant wait to see everyones progress!!

to ta

HI !

HEY GUYS! Sorry it took me so long to get on here ! I'm having a heck of a time figuring this out, but I think I've got it ! I can't wait to see everyones projects progress this summer ! We need to get together and tie dye .... or bedazzle some JEAN JACKETS (; hehehe.

I Totally Agree!!

You guys truly AMAZED me (both times) by your thoughtful responses to the exams you have been given this year!!
You're spoiling me, you know! But keep it up! I am ready for a really good year!
Welcome online Vbaby! You're right, it will be fun to keep in touch.


Today I went into school for the last time for a while. I saw one of your group... no names, remember, but I think her name has something to do with her height, lol.
While I was in there the 3 of us "big kids" did a little purging. We cleaned and moved things and got rid of a few things we don't need anymore. It will look different, and more spacious next year with only 3 teacher desks in the room.
The ceramics room was rearranged a bit too. Time for a few changes!
So classes start for me next week. I will be taking an oil painting class at the Columbus College of Art and Design. It will be focusing on color theory. I'll be going only one week, but from Mon- Fri from 1:00 - 4:30. So it will be long, but informative I think. If I end up with anything decent that week, I'll post images.


Another tidbit: I got an email today about the date for next year's AP exam! It will be scheduled for May 11th; always on a Friday. Here's what I'm thinking: Since this past year was the year of some Great Procrastination, I would like to move the day up a few days. I did that the year before last and it worked out really well.
Their date was moved up by 10 days and they were all ready! But I felt a little badly because they lost more working days than I would have liked. So I am going to look at the calendar and choose a day I think would work for your group and we'll shoot for that day. That way if things still need tweaking or if something goes wrong, we'll still have some wiggle room.
What do you think?

HEY GUYS!

Finally got this blog show on the road and I got to tell ya...I LOVE THIS!

We are all going to have a blast keeping in touch and working on our summer art together through Art Area 111. Great idea Voice of Wisdom....no wonder we call you that! Great exams by the way today! You guys all did amazing! Keep up the good work over summer :)

Check your school email for an interesting opportunity!!!

This coming school year in November Mount St. Joseph College will be having an exhibit.

This exhibit of high school students’ work only takes place every other year!!!

Since I got the reminder today I am passing it on to you now. I thought having some extra time in the summer, since you have to do work anyway, would give you a head start.

I say we make a competition of it. Maybe one of your summer assignment pieces will be something you will want to have considered.

As a bonus, if you are considering going to the Mount and your work gets chosen, then there is also the chance of a scholarship connected with this. Otherwise it is an awesome chance to have your work shown in a professional gallery on their campus. Additionally there will be an opening reception on a Sunday during the show.

I am allowed to choose 2 students to represent our school. So we will look at the work of those who are interested and choose. If you are interesting in taking up this challenge, having your work shown and representing your school in this exhibit, get a piece or two done that we can consider. The best two pieces will be included in the show.

Check your school email for more details! And Let The Games Begin!!!

Four New Mouths to Feed at Our House

The eggs have hatched and it took a few days for the babies to get big enough to see.

How could I not take a photo of this?

I agree... and disagree

I hesitate to say what I think because I don't want to influence anyone's opinion. BUT an opinion is just that... one person's point of view. One of the cool things about the arts is that they are so diverse that there is usually something for everyone, if one looks hard enough to find it. AND if one takes the time to understand what they are experiencing. 
Does everything have to be profound? No. It can be a study, an experiment, a means to start a discussion, something done for shock value, or something that is just plain pleasing. Anything goes!
SO... what do YOU think? Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Let us know what you think.
