This years summer camp was fantastic! Students told me they had a lot of fun, I know I did.
Went to lots of great places, and saw so much improvement in the students art skills. With the warmer weather it’s sad that it’s over. But not sad to see old faces come back, and meet new ones for regular school year lessons.

Every year, I make what I hope will be improvements to the classroom enviroment. This year after a deep cleaning, I have added more storage, while also making more space for students in the class room. We should have more space to store sculptures in progress as well.
There is a new section to the website. The class calendar should make it easy for everyone to keep track of what days there is no class. I hope in the future to find a way for students and parents to use the calendar to inform me of class days they can not come. I am still looking into this.

I will continue to acquire more new and interesting resources and materials for students and will eventually need to get more storage, again!
I have other improvement projects in mind, to work on through out the year. I don’t think I will get to all of them! But every year I manage to check more off my list.
I still intend on making a model stage, and offer drop in life model drawing in the future, if only out of my own personal interest. It would be open to all persons interested in drawing from a model. I am still working on the design of the stage as I want it to be multi-functional, while it’s not in use as a stage all the time.

I have a number of new lesson plans in mind and I can’t wait, along with some of my old favorites.

This Halloween I would like to invite all my students (even parents) to drop by on that Tuesday and I will do their Make-up! For students who come to class that day, they will be learning how to apply their own! Let me know if you can make it!
