3 weeks left of summer

Extended Essay students - have you been working?  Some of you have sent me updates and I know at least one person won't really have any work to do on it in the fall.

I've been working on school work.  That picture is a mind map of the first semester of junior year IB art.  I'm loving the program MindNode for making mind maps, its so easy to use.  There is a free version too but sorry PC people its only for Macs.

Make the most of your last weeks of summer.  Take lots of pictures if you go anywhere.  They make great reference pictures for artwork later in the year.

See you in three weeks!

Overlooked details.

What things in our everyday environment do you overlook that could become art if framed correctly?  There is no limit to the amount of inspiration you can find in the art room.  These were taken earlier today.
