I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from a student last week letting me know that she's been checking up on this blog, and she noticed that there haven't been any recent updates. It's summer, so there are less updates to give! I'm still here, though... and apparently so are you! I'll get writing!
To hold you over for a bit here is a summer reading suggestion. Some background: I read this book because I came across it in a blog from a local art teacher who I really respect a lot. Most of our IHS art students drool over his kids work every year at the Art Shakedown! He lives in Irondequoit, so we are all basically connected, right? So, based on
Todd Stahl's suggestion, I highly recommend this book! It's an easy read that you'll fly through quickly--- and then you just might want to slow down and digest it for a tiny bit longer!
When I read it this past weekend I found that it's everything an art teacher would want to share with his or her students about life and the challenges that come with doing art and being human. The book is called, "The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom." Check it out! It will give you insights to live by that will make your life fuller, happier and better if you adopt any the philosophies of the book that resonate with you.
