My First Blog

Hello! My name is Marilyn and some of you may already know me as your crazy English teacher.  I decided to make a blog and share my crazy ideas and questions during these insane times.  The quarantine has changed our entire life and it seems as if it has all gone upside down.  However, we can always manage ways to use our time to create new ways of living and share ideas to inspire hope, happiness, and curiosity.  For me this is a space for ideas to flow...questions to be asked...and sharing feelings openly.  I invite you to embark on this journey to discover new things with me and that we may share a delightful moments where lightbulbs illuminate in our minds and our hearts.

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.

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 ...
