week of 11.23.09

Well, we have a short week this week. I feel like I have been gone for months and so detached from what all of you have been doing. I did get to see Claudia, Mills, and Jordan for a bit last week when they helped to hang Southern Palettes, the auction with me.

The auction went over very well, we had over 260 pieces of artwork from 24 artists. It was a great night but sales were slow, the recession has been very tough. Steve Penley, myself , Millie Gosch and my sister were the top money raisers for the night, we were lucky. Millie is donating her back to the visual art department and I had designated my piece, The General, to go to the art department but it didn't sell!! You can see all of the work here.

We had a live auction with Steve Penley's work. He sold 3 LARGE pieces, one of which was donated back to the school by Jim Thomasson... you can see it here.

I am looking forward to getting back into the classroom and finding out what I have missed. I hope you are all done with the Mannequin project, I am ready to move on the other things! I am sure you are as well.

No homework this week, just give me a chance to get grounded again in the classroom and find out where you are.
