Artist Self Care
Self-care looks different for everybody. Sometimes I forget that this simple act of painting helps heal/clear my artist soul. We get so busy. We think we don't have time for a grandiose work. We don't have time to invest in a piece that will change minds, ignite fires within, or challenge social issues. You know what. We don't have to do that all the time. "Good Art" meets the needs of the artist before it can ever touch the heart of the viewers. If it is just a sketch, a small painting, a clay pot...whatever you do....do it! If it leads to something FABULOUS...awesome. If it meets you where you are at....that is most important!
School has been a challenge this year(past couple years), and I needed some "therapy". Made these little cards last night...and it felt good!!
What does self care look like for you?

David Driskell
I will be highlighting African American artists that I love and reference in my classroom in a series of posts. My hope is...if you aren’t already...do your research this summer and bring a wealth of AMAZING artists to your students that will enrich their art education experience& allow them to see themselves in the art & artists!
David Driskell
1931-2020
David Driskell was an artist and art historian that focused on African American Art. He authored and co-authored a number of books on the topic. His work is alive with color and line, and it is filled with heart felt meaning and symbolism. David passed away in April of complications with Covid 19. His contribution to the world of art will not be forgotten.

Minnie Evans
Minnie’s work is so beautiful!! I love her use of pattern, color, and symmetry. She often had “visions” that she then turned into art. If you click on the link below you will learn more about her life and work.

What are you making?
This is "in progress", and will have more yo-yo's. I also plan on adding beads to many of them (I've never beaded before!?!?!)
I'll post the progress & when it's completed.
