After two Weeks of problems with my computers i have finally got the Internet up and running on one of the computers but am still waiting on the other. We finally have holls and the weather breaks . But at least the weekend was great and i got out on my bike.

Finished the term on a high note, did a big clean up of the art room . Its amazing what gives me a high!!!!!!! But it is so nice to go back to a spotless room. I am working on so many projects at the moment. With my 5th years we are doing a tile project based on Dragons . We started with lots of drawing of snakes, reptiles, dinosaurs and dragons from there we did colour studies using different mediums and then imaginative compositions based on these. Having looked at every ones drawings/projects we put together a group idea taking a different element of each students work.
We took one persons head another tail, wing, hind legs etc.and come up with fantastic dragon.
It has been a really interesting project with the students coming back to finish after school.
We are 2/3 of the way through it. I am trying to down load some photographs of it on to my blog but am having difficulty.

Am also doing a really nice project with the transition years. Designing a mural for the end wall of the new canteen. I gave the students their choice of subject, they chose images from computers games such as war craft etc. The students are really excited about it. We are also using the images on the cover of this years school magazine.

Have to go now. Looking forward to meeting some of you tomorrow and not been under pressure. We have to have a nice lunch.What do you think!!!!!!
