Setting GOALS

One of the essential parts of an Advanced Art class is for each individual person to think about where they are in their own art making journey and reflect on what they WANT and what they NEED. The class is not a race with winners and losers, but it is a journey that we are on together and it would be great if we all feel accomplished at the end.
My teaching goals include; getting to know my students (better) as individual artists and people, creating a safe, inclusive and inviting place for making artwork, and also finding and sharing some inspiration and technical information.
My professional goals include using; technology to communicate clearly, which include using this BLOG, the grade program Synergy! and Google Classroom, and to integrate more with the Portland Art community including Portland Art Museum, local galleries, lectures etc..   We will begin with the Diebenkorn show and other landscapes at the PAM. *Lecture on 9/8! Lets GO! -Ms. Lilly

Welcome to Advanced Draw/Paint/Print class!!

Welcome back!  It seems like summer just began, and now a new school year is here.  
This will be an exciting year full of learning and exploration.  
My summer was filled with adventures with my children and dog, and traveling often!



I attended a workshop training about Collaborative Problem Solving.

I did some great art making like the workshop with 
Baba Wague Diatke and other PPS Art Teachers.  




Went to set up Oregon Country Fair 
to draw numbers on carts.
I designed and drew plans for remodeling our bathroom, 
(I became an architect!) 
My son and I deconstructed the old space. 

We went boogie boarding and surfing at the coast. 

We went to Maine and Massachusetts and had reunions with our three mothers' families.



Made Paper HATS at Pickathon!

Went to the Portland Art Museum and looked at CARS and Diebenkorn's landscapes, 
and got ready for school..... and now here we are! 

If I were leaving I would take....
