REFLECTIONS ON FAITH & ART

So, yeah.  That's a cow in a mailbox. You know what that means... it's time for a mail art challenge! Now seriously, if you've followed the blog at any point over the last few months then you can't be all that surprised. So here it is. But this isn't really about livestock going postal (though the cow was glorious.) This is about building on last week's challenge and using an altered point of view in your thinking about another person. Show of hands, how many of you love getting mail? I don't at all mean catalogs, ads, random mail for people who used to live at your address or the worst of it all... bills. No. I mean real, old school, not-electronic mail. My younger sisters used to send me sticker-covered envelopes full of love when I was in college. When I saw one of their works of art in the mailbox it honestly made me feel remembered.  It was just a piece of paper and to anyone else at any given time it wouldn't have meant as much. B...

Otherwise known as "the one where I received a flip-flop in the mail"... The mail art has begun. Jodi's the reigning mail art queen. For now... P.S. Ignore my double-chin. Unless I slump, I'm always looking down into the iSight camera.

(I bet Jodi's thought that exact quote ten ot twenty time in the last few months!) Ok, so, field days are over (check!)  Final third-grade project turned in (check!)  Final after-school activity day over (check!) Teacher's gifts sent to coordinating parents (check!) Five more school days then our lives are finally ours for the summer... niiiiiiiice. Alright, so this is what's up.  I have a summer project that is in response to some mom who are interested in me offering art classes geared toward elementary school and middle school aged kids.  I'll be gathering info and posting something hopefully in mid-July.  I think the online idea with in-person meetings once or twice a session would be the way to go.  The classes would start at the beginning of the school year and run in quarterly sessions.  I want to gather info because some of the interest is from home-schooling families looking for art curriculum so I want to see what kind of requirements...
