Taking E shopping tommorow. AV is doing yeoman service not just by getting E to the Special Olympics meet, but also by submitting her package for camp. Talked to C, whose birthday is next week. She said her niece, the one who unaccountably has a man's name, had been hospitalised with a collapsed lung! Horrors. She is mostly recovered now. I have a lot of work to complete before Tuesday -- to keep the yearbook on track. Tiff is back from South America and was at school last Thursday. She'll be there Tuesday so we can hang a bit. Thursday is Alex's workshop. I've got him scheduled for one pre- and one post- lunch session, with 5 students in each session, 7-8th graders, and 5-6th graders respectively. I'd like to do one more with younger students in one session, and keen students from Day One in the other. We'll see. This is print-making -- although exactly what kind remains to be seen (but not by me as I won't be there). I'm interested in having my students experience a different artist's methods, and to just hang out with him. I think that's valuable. I'm process oriented, and I'd rather the children learn something in a strict artistic sense than make pretty prints. Although I'm sure there will be some nice prints made, those are more the gravy. I've been surprised in the past by wonderful work by the students. Despite having to come up with an idea fast, then execute it rapidly, they rose to the occasion well.
