Great Artist Coloring Pages

I’ve been working on blackline drawings to simplify some of the artwork we will be studying in the spring. Although they’re not the best quality, I thought I’d share them here in case anyone would like use them for their own art studies. They can be used for younger students as Great Artist Coloring Pages. […]

A corporate mom’s decision to stay at home

Oh, my. As I was scrolling back through past emails in search of job descriptions of my former engineering and education careers, I came across a note I wrote as I made the decision to be a stay-at-home mom.

He hasn’t wanted to use Seterra or Quizlet to practice, and drawing and labeling are tough to do when you’re […]
