job

once again, i am mostly consumed with art and little kids, I have found out that the age i originally wanted to teach is the age i really do want to teach. I love the little, little ones, they are so innocent and sweet, but you can't talk to them about art the same way you can the older kids, and its more arts and crafts. I will be done teaching in a few weeks, and I think i will miss it a lot. Maybe, I can get an extra job here at the art center, so i don't have to drive as far.

I am mostly done with the house, only a few little things left to do...

new house, new job, new town

so, I'm moved in, mostly. Started my job at the Firehouse teaching children art, well since they are 5 and 6 mostly just arts and crafts, but whatever. Its pretty fun, I am enjoying it.

The house is almost there, still need to do little thing and buy things, but that will only come in time. I did design our patio table, which we bought off of our neighbor for cheap and rusty, and now its beautiful. That and goldfish made out of plates are all the art I've done lately.
and this is the badass fridge we bought, and are now officially adults because of it.

Aftermath

Woo, done with Capstone and done with school. I have a small job teaching children at the Firehouse Art Center this summer, and I will continue my job at Barnes until I get my teaching certificate to teach in public schools! Yikes, I'm growing up. But it is very exciting, moving to a house, living the life, etc. I'm so excited!

Mixed Media Capstone Show

I have done three pieces like this now, and I am loving it. The first one I don't have a photo of, yet. The first was two goldfish with dark orange fabric and a light blue background. The second is this one with the reverse, a background of fabric and flat light orange goldfish. The third you have to use your imagination, the last two photos are the same piece, both fish are done in fabric but one is off of the canvas swimming outside of it. My wall space was not big enough to show it. Hopefully I will have a full photo of it if it gets into the capstone show.

The Capstone show goes as follows...

being green

This has nothing to do with my art, but I was stumbling and came across an article about how Starbucks employees think it is a hassle when customers bring their own mugs or the starbucks reusable ones. I have personally come across this in using my own canvas bags for shopping. The other day, I put my canvas tote on the conveyor belt in front of my food at Braum's, so the girl would see if before the food. The girl just pushed it to the side and started to bag my food in a paper sack, when I explained that I wanted to use my bag, I then had to bag it myself because she was confused by this. Mostly this is just a rant on how hard it is to be green when it should be so easy. Its just like any other bag, and helping in a small amount, and every little bit counts.

Here is a better example of what they will look like.
