I started to trace Mourning Object #1 his week. This piece speaks to my comfort with mourning, with my grief about death. I am comfortable with where I am right now in this process, and felt I could start tracing this piece. I am using colour in this tracing, a different colour every day, just choosing whatever seems right. Here is a video:
I am also continuing to trace the other piece, because I feel like this ritual is also important. Here are some videos of that:
So on another tangent, i've been watching Malcolm in the Middle. I know, I know, it doesn't have much to do with this, but really it does. That show is so well written! There is an episode where the father takes a sabatical to paint, because it's something he's always dreamed of. So the whole episode is about how he's trying to get to that ultimate painting. In the end, his family comes to the garage where he's been painting, and they are in awe because it's amazing. He goes up to it, so proud, and OF COURSE, the paint layers are so thick that they fall on top of him. It's soooooo gooooooood!
Have been thinking about my work, and about what it is saying. Writing a lot on that. It's not coherent writing right now so I will post it another time.
In Teaching methods this week we talked about rubrics. I really believe rubrics are a great teaching tool. I feel like they inform the students exactly what is needed from them to get a certain grade. If they are aiming for an A, they know exactly what they have to do. Also, as a teacher, I can just point at the rubric and that's it. It was an interesting discussion. We also looked at some great photos of France and Italy. They made me so homesick! I am ready to go back to France for an extended period of time. I really do miss it.
Here is who i've been looking at this week:
