Art Class Preparation

There is nothing happenstance about my classes.  Art is like any other subject; if you want to be good at it you have to STUDY and WORK!  Just like math or science you start at the beginning and build skill upon skill through many years of work.  Art doesn’t just ‘happen.’  Sometimes people will ask me how long it took me to paint a painting.  My reply will often be something like, ‘Oh, a lifetime.’  Here is just a small part of my preparation for this week’s classes.

Now this.  This is what I call art.  One of my students brought super yummy whoopie pies for us all.  Whoopie pies on top of my Australian art towel on top of my art board.  Layers of love here.

Aren’t they beautiful? :)

Art Teacher Preparations

Remember your teachers, people, because we spend August working like crazy people whilst you are laying around the pool. I’ve laid up $1,000.00 worth of supplies (you’re welcome, Jerry’s Artarama) so far in preparation for my classes.  A couple classes are full, but I still have a bit of room in my others.  Teaching in The Woodlands and in Conroe.  For formal homeschool classes in all subjects, check us out at:

(Conroe)

And by the way, if you are looking for a FABULOUS pencil, find those big Jet Blacks at Jerry’s.  LOVE.

You Need Art Classes!

Meet the artist responsible for this crazy feed.  Well, my HAIR is ready for school, now for the rest.  Still have wiggle room in some of my art classes.  Look at www.hisclasses.com and www.ttcclasses.org for class info, schedules and teacher info.

2017/2018 Art Students, Second Installation

I was going to publish the second half of my art students, but can’t find the pictures! ARG.

BUT... very important... this young lady.  She received the OFFICIAL Most Improved Award this year, and richly deserved it.  She went from extreme perfectionism, which is very frustrating and crippling in art, to being able to critique her work and being able to improve and rework it without throwing it away.  This girl has produced some lovely work and GROWN!
