I Scream Ice Cream

At some point, I think screaming would have been a great release, or chowing down on a huge sundae. Day 2 of finals and the depression of grading incomplete projects were overwhelming.  Good things about the day: my intermediate and advanced students seemed to have fun playing with the new technique I showed them, students completed and turned in work for the art competition, and art club and environmental club students worked on the mural and the garden, AND I only have to get through one final tomorrow.  This week is exhausting. Today's whirlwind had me at a loss of what to draw today, so I turned to my favorite book Creative Block: Over 500 Ideas to Ignite Your Imagination by Lou Harry.  It is a cute little fat cube with photos, questions, statements, etc.  It helps me to clear my mind enough to allow new ideas get through.  I opened it to a random page and saw an ice cream sundae and immediately this image popped into my head.   Something sweet sounds really good right now, but I should probably eat dinner first.  Hmmm...

  2. That is Graffey. He is terrified of almost everything but tries to act like he's not. He is mostly a follower because it is easier to have someone tell him what to do.
