So we've been using plaster...

 

Does anybody have any lotion?

We're Back! Better than Ever!

Can you believe it? Here's just a taste of what we've been doing:

A shading project from Anthony

One from Felicia

and one from Briana

A cool "woven" picture from Henry

A beautiful Japanese landscape from Cadence

And some pretty boy by Jasmine. Wait a minute, it kind of looks like me.

Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2

Here is another video of the new projects on the wall. The Magnet 1 and 2 students made self-portraits with oil pastels in a color scheme of their choice. The Drawing/ Crafts/ Fundamentals students did variations on a leaf, and Aubria made the beautiful oil painting of the gymnast.

It's been awhile

I know I haven't posted anything for this school year. I've been kind of overwhelmed getting adjusted to teaching at Lee so I've let the blog fall by the wayside. But I'm back, baby! Instead of posting pictures of everything we've done, I thought I'd just post a video. It's easier than taking pictures of everything, and it gives me a chance to use my new Flip ultraHD. Enjoy.

Big News

I will no longer be teaching at ASFL. I am transferring to Lee High School and will be teaching the magnet art classes there. I love ASFL, the students, and everyone I worked with, but I have been there for ten years, and I just felt like it was time for a new environment and a new challenge. I will miss everyone I taught and taught with, but I'm confident Dr. Summerville will find a wonderful new teacher to take my place. I wish everyone the best, and anyone who's interested can now see the work of Lee students on this blog.

School's Out For Summer!

Not quite yet, but grades are posted, we're having awards days, and we're pretty much closing up shop. It's been a great year, and the students produced some beautiful artwork. I enjoyed doing the blog, and I will see everyone in August.

Congrabulations!

I want to congragulate the following students for having their art chosen for display in the Student Art Tent at Panoply: Leopold N'Kengbeza, Asongafec N'Kengbeza, Kyara Simmons, Tiara Strong, Evan Shirley, Kevin Mai, Victoria Ownbey, Yady Bamaca, Taylor Sanders, Chloe Long, Hannah Rhoden, Justin Wallace-Williams, Hannah Smejkal, and Tori Zapalac. Panoply will be in Big Spring Park April 23-25. Go check it out!
