Blerg.

So today I came home from school feeling awful again, a thursday night repeat. I must be allergic to hormonal adolescents. Shout out to my wonderful husband for picking up dinner tonight so I can attempt to not feel like crap. Anyways, I have decided what to do with my Art 2 and 3 kids, so at least I have done one productive thing today. They are going to do woodblock prints! (I wish you could here my voice when I say that, it comes with a goofy smile and spirit fingers) I LOVE printmaking-- favorite process ever. To the left is one I did in college. BUT on top of that they are going to print it on handmade/marbled/ textured papers that they are going to make themselves. AND they will learn about Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, whose work I adore. So I am excited about that.





I also have a strange assignment in progress from my student teaching supervisor. I am supposed to make a work of art using these things....

Here is what I have so far (pardon the bad picture I feel to crappy to take a new one)
This has reminded me how much I miss doing art on my own. Teaching is wonderful but I have to make time to do my own art! 
Ok I have to go lie down before my head implodes.
