Have you ever thought, "walls can't dance"? See for yourself; they can!

Pathways Mural



























The photos above show the progress of the mural my Art Ed. Studio class made last fall for a great local adult day center, Pathways. My dad collaborated with us by engraving the plaque to the right of the mural and laser cutting the 'Pathways' title letters above the mural. Thanks dad! Nice work everybody!

Brian Eno- Deep Blue Day




The closing track from the best mix I was given for my birthday!

Currently cozied in my cloud of a bed with coffee. I have a slightly foggy mind from last night but I'm feeling completely content right now. Birds are soothing me from out my window, and to listen to this song on top of it all, I float.

For Thursday's workshop, my student finished her shadow puppets and script for the movie she's making. Next week, I'll teach her to use iMovie so she can edit it and put it together herself. Below are some photos of her work:

Renewal






















































Above is my latest Metals assignment, a necklace I've titled Renewal. The idea came from the first photo above, one that I took last year in Denmark on a rainy spring afternoon. The assignment required the use of found materials, and I used a leather band, copper for the jump rings and clasp, black anodized aluminum for the branch pieces, fake moss, plastic zip-ties, and yellow and copper-colored nail polishes.
