So now it’s starting. I made good on my New Year’s Resolution to be a better blogger and I did sustain it through mid-March. I even took the advice of The Huffington Post Guide to Blogging and maintained a goal of twice a week for the first month or two.
I made a decision to cut back to one per week a while back because that seemed a more realistic goal for me. But lately I’ve begun to slip into a bi-weekly post at best.
I had every intention of photographing some art and blogging last week about the wonderful visual art pieces and musical and dramatic performances at the All Arts Festival at the Harwich Community Center on Thursday, March 19th. If you didn’t make it to either of the performances at noon or 7PM, you missed some amazing talent courtesy of our students in the Fine and Performing Arts Dept. of the Harwich Public Schools. I will take some of the blame in that if I had gotten it into the blogosphere, some more might have known about it in time. There is still time to see some of the beautiful paintings, drawings, murals and pottery created by students in grades K through 12 before it comes down this week.
But on a related school note, now I am about to embark on another installment of what I fondly refer to as “the SCAD chronicles”. I am currently pursuing a masters degree in painting through Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and for the winter quarter I was blissfully off. But spring quarter starts tomorrow and I will be back on line and chained to the computer (when not teaching art full time myself!) for Theories and Processes until the end of May.
I will try to chime in from time to time with a post on the coursework or any other tangent that arises. But don’t hold your breath….. if there are any of you out there actually paying attention to this blog. Or, on the other hand, if you are out there, maybe you should let me know. It might be the kick in the pants that keeps me finding some time and energy to report in.
But again no promises. And if you check out the essay, “When Form Has Become Attitude – And Beyond”, you’ll see what is going to be absorbing so much of my gray matter. Very interesting but very heady stuff to wrap one’s brain around, especially after working full time each day! Search for it at this link http://books.google.com
