Wow, It's Almost the End of the School Year!

Since you're so busy preparing your final tasks before the end of the semester, I thought you deserved a little smile. :)  That video is just so cute.

Imagine...

To all of my #niprockart students: Just for fun, I'd like you to imagine our art room in a new way.  What if, instead of sitting down and working on the same project as the rest of the class, you worked on projects and materials that you were interested in?  What if our classroom had an area for students who enjoyed sculpture, another area for film and photography, another for drawing & painting, and... well, you get the idea.  What if our classroom projects were actually commissioned by people who needed things done... in the 'real world'?  What would you change about our classroom to make it into the art room you wish it could be? If you have a moment to spare, write down your ideas on your blog -- I'd love to find out what you think!
