working art
the count down for school to be out is officially on!! 12 regular school days with my 6th and 7th graders. and 6 school days until my 8th graders graduate.
i must say that i am truly ready. when you live your life by the school calendar the year always goes by quickly. but i must say this has been a difficult year for me.
i'm ready and thankful for my much needed break.
i belong to an artist's group at my church and tonight is one of the first meetings. i should say that a similar group used to meet, but we have reorganized and are starting a-new.
i'm looking forward to this tonight. besides my knitting, i've always been "artsy". one of the proposses of this group is to "show" something that you are working on or have finished each month. this is good motivation to keep you "working".
about a month ago i went to an informal pastels class at the art museum in my daughter's town. it was fun and a new experience for me. we each worked on the "2 inch picture frame" concept and i will share my work from that experience tonight.
plus, i think i will wear a sweater that i knit, that i am pretty proud of.
i "toy" with the thought of finishing my master's degree in art rather that education. that may be a great way to find a more peaceful way to work.
