Self Portrait Project September 2011:

All students drew their self portraits, and added details that told the viewer a little about their likes and interests.  They turned out so very well!

4-26-2011:  I just got home from an educators preview of this wonderful new museum and all I have to say is...

You have got to go and experience it ASAP!!

 

It is a nice open space with natural light and wonderful, personable and knowledgeable staff.  Kudos to the student docents who gave us a tour!!

 

The two opening shows, Dan Steinhilber and Naoko Ito compliment each other very well.

 

I was so pleasantly surprised to walk into one of the pieces and find a whole new and unexpected experience inside.  I can not tell you more, as you have to experience this for yourselves!!

We had a beautiful red tailed hawk come for a visit early yesterday.  He was hoping for a chicken breakfast!  Thankfully all of our girls were safe inside the chicken house directly under him.
