The joys of being an art teacher

I took 41 high school students to Newfield's Indianapolis Museum of Art on Thursday this week.  My favorite thing is making them pick a piece of artwork and imitate it, take a picture of both and turn it in to me.  It is always gold!  

In other news, the school that I teach at had active shooter training this past Wednesday.  This has nothing to do with art, it was just moderately traumatizing so I thought I'd mention it.  We ran different exercises like fight, barricade and evacuate.  I "died" in the evacuation.  I also found that my character is lacking when under pressure.   How, you might ask? Well, after I realized that I had been "shot" from above (local pd were firing blanks at us) I freaked out and bolted through the door in front of me.  Not so bad, but there was an older lady in my path and I kind of launched her through it...

Back to painting!
