Well, its spring semester and we are already hitting 4th gear with our studios. It's been very rough on me and the kids in terms of deadlines and submissions. Although I push them to the limits, I have gotten nice responses from the majority that art IS hard work and takes a lot of time, creativity, planning and dedication. There is a sense of respect for the arts, but I'm hoping that this experience will give them a chance to branch out and take chances with whatever they do in life. At this point, with just under two years of art instruction, I have seen them grow not only in their art, but as people who have a lot to say from within.....Peace & Good Vibes.....
