About Me

I'm am immersing my self in an arts-based research project for my MA in Arts Education at Boston University. The purpose of this art-based project is to pick an art form that I have no or little knowledge about & learn by doing. I am a middle school art teacher in Berkshire County, MA. You can visit my art room blog here: http://mvrmsart.blogspot.com/ I have my absolute dream job! What is better than creating art with talented, funny and creative students all day long! After finishing my thesis and my MA degree, my goal is to implement screen-printing into an art elective class, "Fine Crafts" this upcoming Spring. Follow me on my journey through the discoveries & some-times set backs of an artist-teacher!

Feeling a bit better about this

The thing is I love the way screen-printing looks. That's what I wanted to do this in the first place. I love the flat and bold colors, the geometric shapes and designs, everything. So I do want to get this. Today I stopped into the Dolphin Studio at Alchemy Initiative to pick up my strike through print I bought on etsy. http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheDolphinStudio?ref=pr_shop_more When I assisted in the studio a month ago, I feel in love with the strike through prints as they have so much whimsy to them. I chatted with Crispina for a bit and now have a renewed sense of calm and inspiration. I will be interviewing Primm on Tuesday, who is Crispina and Sofie's mother and later this week I will be interviewing John Ahlen who is a master screen-printer who taught the Ffrench family about the art of screen-printing. One way or another, I will figure this out, even if it is with the help of everyone else!
how wonderful is this?!!
