It's nice weather here in Itasca...

I really do like having a store literally around the corner...I would like it more if it was a Walgreens! :-) But the one thats there will do. ;-)

One more semester at ACC is ending...in just a very few days. I have been teaching there since Fall 2011. This summer's class will be the the 26th lecture class (if my addition is correct) that I have taught at the college. I have missed teaching studio classes. I miss the interactive creativity that is experienced there. However, I never applied to teach a studio class there, partly because the lecture classes gave students and myself the opportunity to have discussions about a vast array of topics. Important aspects of those lecture classes are discussing the creative process, artists' experiences in the development of new ideas (that may even seem old-fashioned now), and seeing the students awakening to the concept of something outside their daily lives becoming an integral aspect of life itself. (On occasion, in a classroom of mostly non artists, there still remains an attitude of some students, that experiences in art or in classrooms are not "real world" experiences. Fortunately, a well disciplined and nonjudgmental expression while making continuous eye contact, and a calm, "This is the real world, too." usually works quite well. Timing is everything!)

Timing IS everything...and the time has come for a change.
