During July I was taking
graduate studio work, and creating for the classes at AC Moore. I designed a
class (July and August) for kids based off the idea of drawing and ZentangesR . . . the ATC Tangle-doodles class. The
images were interesting enough that some adults expressed they wanted to learn.
I also have classes available for bookmaking still, through the end of August.
Along with a new class that will meet weekly on Thursdays; Visual Journaling
that is along the idea of Gina Rossi Armfield’s book No Excuses Art Journaling.
It is a great resource of inspiring yourself and creativity.
studio work. I worked on my artwork, taking photos and editing the pictures.
Drawing and sketching. Researching. . . lighting for photographing landscapes
and macro images in the forest, along with contemporary photo artists. I
also researched fantasy artists, wings and watercolor illustrators because I
was illustrating ideal fairies for a book wish to illustrate.
Now it is August and I am
still busy as ever. I thought summer might be relaxing making art . . . no way.
The kids are getting ready for back to school. I am creating many, many, many new
lessons for the classes I will be teaching at Hampstead Middle school, to grades 5 through 8. AND I will still be teaching the
few classes at AC Moore.
