Rock it

Here's an idea that is super easy and fun and evokes wonderment. Collect some rocks and paint them with colorful, bright and fun faces then place them around public places for people to find. We could have an afterschool creative ART Attack session and paint away. Everyone could then take one of the painted rocks and place them somewhere that people could admire/see them. It's kind of like an Easter egg hunt, except you don't collect and pick up the found 'eggs' - you leave them for others to find. (Reminds me of geocaching - have you tried that? Fun!)

By the way, Exit Through the Gift Shop, is a very interesting mockumentary! (It's on Netflix)

Want to see some great art by LJM parents?

I happen to know of some amazing artists who have kids here at LJM. I'd love to organize an art show for parents' art. If you are an artist of any kind, would you be interested in sharing your art with our students? How do I 'draw' you out of the woodwork? please keep reading...

Got pricelist for cows

I posted yesterday about an idea to do a public art campaign to bring awareness to the importance of art in schools. I heard back from the company I contacted who have the fiberglass cows and other animals.

Art Cows @ LJM and public campaign for art literacy

Wouldn't it be neat if our school campus also had some public art? I can picture awe-inspiring sculptures in our quad, an art cow here and there...
