Weekly Recap {11/21/2012 - Happy Thanksgiving!}

7th grade art classes are wrapping up their celebrity grid paintings in 2D & ceramic coil mugs in 3D. This shortened week put a crunch on time, but everyone did a good job taking on the challenge! I'm impressed at all the hard work and talent these classes displayed.

{I just got the new iPhone 5 and I've been experimenting with the camera. As you can see, the panorama option does a wonderful job at capturing a focused art class!}

Here is a photo of Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and Stella Pollock carving a turkey in 1950!

For everyone that will be traveling, whether it be across the street or across the country. Travel safe, take car, and have a happy Thanksgiving!
