Last week we did trees. Each week when I am planning what lesson to teach, I often think about an artist who exemplifies both mastery and a unique approach to the subject. When I think of trees, I think of Albert Hendel<\/a>\u00a0with whom I did a workshop in 2009.<\/p>\n

\"Albert'sAlbert’ Suspender<\/h6>\n

Looking at trees in different ways, like Albert, taught the kids a lot about looking at everything in different ways. When we really look at something,\u00a0the preconceived notions and mind-made symbols about it fall away, opening up space to make good, honest art.<\/p>\n

Please notify me 24 hours in advance if your kid won\u2019t be coming. Payment is expected for last minute cancellations or no shows. Of course sometimes there are extenuating circumstances\u00a0like illness\u00a0that are handled differently. But if your kid gets sent home or stays home sick, please inform me at your earliest convenience. \u00a0I have not increased prices in 8 years and hope to keep it that way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
