Let The Art Adventures Begin

Today is the beginning of another art-filled season at one of my favorite teaching venues...the Frances Anderson Cultural and Leisure Center in Edmonds.



My empty classroom awaits...


My lovely view awaits...


And I await...with great anticipation..the arrival of the wonderfully talented and creative spirits that I will have the honor of spending time with and teaching these next few months.

I can hardly wait to see what these clever little artisans will come up with this year.



(Updated 9/16: Added image of Center after the fact...should have been there in the first place, silly me!)

What a view and how lucky you are to have such a busy creative led life, I foresee lots of fun ahead.

What fun. I always love starting a new class - whether teaching or taking!

B&P: Yesterday was very fun...I do feel blessed (although my back is misbehaving at the moment!). :/

La Maison: Me too...much more fun than the last day, that one's always a bit sad, especially when 'giving'.

I was a teacher for several years,

had to stop teaching to take care of my son.

This post made me remember the first days of school, the thrill of meeting new students and even co-teachers.

I can sense you are almost "champing at the bit" with excitement. Lucky are those involved in creative work!

Joy Hall said...

Ann: How wonderful that you used to teach...well, actuall, you still are a teacher aren't you, of the most important kind too! And it is very exciting starting a whole new year, I just love it! xo

Rabbit: I feel so blessed to teach there, it's an amazing place. We listen to the ballerina's practicing next door while we draw...it's wonderful! xo

Hospitable Scots: I must admit...I was 'champing'...just a bit! ;)

Joy: What a sweet comment...thank you! xo

Quintessence: Yes it does...although being seven again and going back to school would be fun too, that way I'd have a new backpack to show off! ;)

The thrill of a new school year...so much anticipation. I read about the history of the building (former elementary school) you are teaching in...very beautiful as are the views. Your classroom looks huge.

Your classroom is beautiful and a delightful setting. Many masterpieces will be created this new year and you will inspire many young people to pursue art. How great that you are their teacher

Annie: So glad you read about the center.The classroom *is* huge...but it's amazing how quickly several little artists can fill it all up! xo

Helen: Thank you for your encouraging comment...I am looking forward to seeing their masterpieces very much! We are creating Octopi at the moment, should be very interesting! xo
