Dream a little dream with me...


Today is yet another grey day. It seems harder to cope with being indoors if the sun isn't shining. Does anyone else feel the same way? I think a daily dose of sunshine is healthy and uplifting. So tell me do you like sunbathing? I'm a big beach fan. So let's daydream a little shall we? I'd like you to imagine a beautiful sunny place you'd go to, if you had a chance. Perhaps, it would be Greece, Hawaii, Cuba, or Rome.. Wherever it is I'd like you to draw it out. Go online and find a specific place in your dream country where you would go if you could. It has to be outside of your country. 

 Once you've decided the country and the place you'll need to tell me all about it. Where you'd stay whether it be a B&B, hotel, rental house etc and where you would eat. State specific restaurants and food trucks if any... and what you'd do there. As if you were planning your very own vacation where you'd do anything you want to do. You can send me a video or a written assignment on PowerPoint or anything similar. I'd like videos and specific places and then you can site them at the end. The best assignment will get posted here on my blog. So let's embark on a little holiday while we are confined in this dark dreary day. Touristic videos are welcome and very much appreciated. Ok come on let's go. 

 Send all the work to my email here.

I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Painting with Monet

Art and all its forms describe the inner workings of a person´s mind.  I find different types of art pieces similiar to the minds that paint them.  Everyone is completely unique and so is their particular art form.  You can study the techniques of all the artistic masters but you will have your own touch that will distinguish you among the rest.  No two people are alike and no two artist are either.  In my opinion, each person is gifted with a type of art talent that makes them undeniably different among all others.   A lot of people have told me that they don't see themselves as creative or artistic in any way. I believe we are all creatures of a creative nature by birth.   Some may think that they don't possess artistic abilities but all people do in some way or other.  Art is not limited to drawing or paintings--it can be the art of cooking, dancing, or just walking.  If you are alive you are a walking piece of art and t...

Loving Vincent

Terrace de Cafe du Nuit reproduction by Leanna Nguyen  Original by Vincent Van Gogh Today's blog is dedicated to Vincent Van Gogh. After watching the movie "Loving Vincent" I thought what a great topic for the kids. The movie is absolutely brilliant. Every scene and every single part of the movie was hand painted and inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's original paintings. He was a genius during his time but he was unappreciated and unfortunately died a sad death. Now, many years later his work is studied and respected as one of the best and it comes to show you how important one person's vision can be for the future. I encourage my students to create whatever they wish in their minds and hearts because you'll never know who you could inspire and how far you can get. Dare to draw out your visions, dreams, and imagination and let it take you to great heights. Here is a link to draw one of Vincent Van Gogh's most famous paintings. I'd ...
