6th, 7th, and 8th Grades WORKED until the end
With the end of the year less than 24 hours behind me, I look back on a year of learning and experiments, stresses and successes. I hope my fading memory remembers the successes more than the stressors.
The last days (and I wish I had made photographs of the works, included plein air drawings and paintings, fused glass magnets, and a day of exquisite corpses. That was a lot of fun (for those who could follow directions and draw for 4 minutes).
Biggest lesson I learned is a reminder from my mom. “Frank” she says, “remember to not be so uptight in the class. Nobody there is going to be as passionate or interested in the arts as you. They are teenagers (and preteens) and always have three things on their minds. Art isn’t one of them.” Now I can only guess what the pre-teens have on their minds… and I know that art isn’t one of them (all the time at least). I DO need to chill a bit.
Anyhow. Thanks for the year of follows. I don’t get a lot of feedback from the audience from these posts but I am always interested in your thoughts. How to be more chill? Relax? Ways to let them just be the energy filled children they are and not have it drive me to the verge of anger? I am up for your thoughts.
This is the first thing I am doing on my summer break (other than removing a bad microwave and making coffee, and struggling to change the head on a QUIP toothbrush). And this is going to be it for the summer (maybe some Waterford 7+ photos but… we aren’t there yet. That is my adults with differing abilities and mad passion for art group – names after the Group of Seven from Canada – Oh Canada…).
Check out MoMA’s Exquisite Corpse site and the Group of Seven.
Have a GREAT Summer.
