Local students complete an on-site mural.

It was quite interesting to watch this temporary mural evolve over the past three days.

I am sure that only my students will understand how excited I was, along with two art teachers from Utah, as we met with a representative from Strathmore to discuss paper! New products include a multi-media paper and a really heavy printing paper in pads. We were literally ooooing and ahhhing as we felt the papers and learned about their properties.

And then I learned all about copic markers and how to us them. I also discovered that they are refillable!

Workshop highlights today were sessions on integrating contemporary art into art curriculum and creating "choice-based" classrooms. I also created a design prototype from insulation blocks using a heated foam carver! Fantastic tool and will hope my creation survives the flight home so that I can continue to work on it.
