Yeah....It's been over a year since my last journal. So sue me. I have been busy. I began student teaching January 7th and have roughly 6 weeks left. I've been teaching art at an inner city school here in Muncie, Indiana. I mainly teach 3 different classes, all 2-D art. The largest challenge is getting the students to care enough to do work.

I've taught lessons on still-lifes (BOO!), Contour Drawing, Picasso's Portraits, Willem De Kooning, Mosaic portraits, realistic portraits using oil pastels, Chuck Close, and upcoming illustration and Van Gogh paintings.

So, in about a month and a half, I will be a licensed art teacher and will hopefully have lined up a teaching job somewhere in this country. Though I wouldn't necessarily turn down teaching in Japan....


BWA HA HA HA HA . .. COUGH!
