Adult Students

I was a presenter at the 2009 Michigan Art Education Association's Annual Convention.
I demonstrated a lesson on creating Dale Chihuly style sculpture from pop bottles.
It was a joy to instruct other art educators. They are eager to learn, are generous with supplies, and they are ready to show originality in their work.
Here are some examples.

Art is Springing Up

The fourth graders constructed Chihuly Style flowers from pop bottles and bed springs. Bottles were cut, melted, painted, drilled, and attached to painted bed springs. On a foggy morning the flowers were installed in the lawn looking like alien flowers. Fun times.
