#POPArt and the RESOLUTION of it all. How would the #Griswolds sing about making #art? Hmmm

“In not stating the goal to the students and wording them so they are understandable… it is like a family going on a trip with Dad in the driver’s seat and him not sharing what the destination is or how long the trip is going to take. Dad knows where he’s going, but the rest of the family has no clue.” – Frank Korb

On the ROAD again! Testing is over for today and we’re on the ROAD AGAIN! Let’s Sing a song to CELEBRATE our journey together – our ART journey!
