Wow! the school year is just flying by. Can't believe Thanksgiving break is here. We are inservicing for a couple of days, so I am looking forward to the team building and then, of course the break. I've been crafting for Mistletoe Mall this weekend, so I've got Christmas on my mind as well. Hope you are having happy thoughts about the upcoming holidays. Love, Jenn

Art Rooms

I went to a couple of other art rooms today at other schools and really got inspired and pumped. I haven't been in other art teachers rooms in a while and it was neat to see what others were up to. I love it and learn so much. So inspired. So I say, go out and visit something you are interested in, or need to learn more about to make you and your job more successful.

I spent the day here, at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. It was an amazing fieldtrip with my jr. highers. We saw lots of paintings and sculptures and the gardens and the views. Can't wait to go back again.

Can't believe summer is almost over, it has gone by as fast as usual. Just a few more trips to the beach, and that will about do it. I made a list a week or so ago, of things I still wanted to get done, and now it's gettting down to the wire. Not going to complete it by the end of summer, but there is always the fall. hmmm.

It makes an art teacher proud, when her students are in Chicago on vacation and they come across a piece of artwork that they recognize from art class and they text her and tell her they saw Alexander Calder's "Flamingo" and they send her a picture. Well at least two have been listening. I have the best job.

Design Team challenge for the Red Bee: Create a 1 page layout using Smooch Spritz. I bought a wine purple color and sprayed a white sheet of paper with the word girl masked on top, then added stamps and paper and ribbons and buttons. Photo by Tara Whitney.
