Respect Agreements at Columbia and Sunrise : The Golden Rule seems to summarize it best: Treat others as you want to be Treated! Sunrise students signed the respect agreement. It was a collaborative effort! Columbia's ART Room Respect agreement is still a work in progress! Students posting their ideas onto the Peace Sign respect agreement. I am excited to be starting a new Art Year with everyone. I subscribe to a curriculum development website. So, this year my art students and I will continue exploring the theme of Art Through the Ages. The art lessons are tied to the New Mexico and the National Core Art Standards. My time with the wonderful young artists is limited! Columbia and Sunrise art students come to my art room only two times a month for 45 minutes each session! WOW! That is only 18-19 times in an entire school year! We will have to pack in LOTS of info and fun art making during that time. My husband and I traveled this summer. We LOVE road trips. We visited our family in Lakewood, Washington. We cruised Alaska's inland passage. We were in awe of the glory of God's Creation! I hope Sunrise and Columbia family and friends made happy Summer memories. Vacating or Stay-cating! I enjoyed doing some en plein aire watercolor painting at the Port Wilson Lighthouse outside Port Townsend, Washington at the mouth of Puget Sound. I also did a quick watercolor sketch in Steilacoom Park, Washington, while overlooking Chamber's Bay. northern new mexico state fair I travelled to Albuquerque, New Mexico on Thursday, August 31st, with friend and colleague Emily Bennett to put our Las Cruces Public Schools Exhibit on display in the New Mexico State Fair's School Arts Building. Our school district, second largest in the state of New Mexico, was honored with a PRIMO exhibition location greeting visitors to the building just inside the front door! We hung 16 frames and 14 silk paintings representing a total of 89 young artists in grades k-5. It was so much fun taking the day to visit the northern part of our state and to view all the wonderful art being created by students from around the beautiful state of New Mexico!
