(She failed to mention that part of the reason she was exhausted is that I made her share some of her art, sketchbooks and comments about the life of an artist each period.) It was so nice for the students to see and hear someone besides me. Many had questions and comments for her.<br />Each day is different for me at Murray, sometimes more draining than others. But I live to encourage and support these students and I LOVE seeing the interesting and beautiful work they create. As each project unfolds their unique ideas come to life and their confidence is strengthened. I'm already seeing such creativity in this current "Take Your Fish for a Walk" as they brainstorm how their Renaissance person "walks" their pet fish. <br />Jane, Thank you for your bravery in coming to my class and sharing with the students. This post may be the highlight of my years of teaching!Susienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26401911.post-818385886286821622011-11-23T09:28:15.205-08:002011-11-23T09:28:15.205-08:00What a lovely lesson!
