paint me happy

and because I couldn't resist sharing some of the joy filled faces with finished books from the weekend.... I wish I had one of everyone in the class!

An Artful Journey= Collage on Steroids!

Kelly and I taught a Chunky Funky Coffee Table Book (CFCTB) this weekend in the Santa Cruz mountains, or as we coined in our class- collage on steroids! We had the best time! It was amazing to see the transformation of not only the students, but from the clean classroom to the creative explosion it became! The students were so positive and full of energy and enthusiasm! We painted for 3 days straight and many students kept on painting to midnight. Thank you everyone! I loved every second with you and feel so filled up. We even had a little harlem-globetrotters-esque cheer at the end as we piled into the assembly to share our work cheering the CFCTB with the books held up high. It was a definite highlight. Thank you especially to Stella & Louise for the photos! I'll be sending y'all a follow-up email soon with all your contact info :)
