Ms. Vella's Summer Art Projects

I've been doing a lot of painting this summer, as I hope you all have too. Ms. Millham was so nice to give me an enormous box of some of her old paints that she discovered while cleaning out her basement. They were high quality paints too! I've used a lot of them up already, if you can believe it.

I was lucky enough to take a course this June-July with Julian Bradshaw at St. Michael's College entitled, "Educator as Artist." The course focused on personalized learning in the arts. Each student enrolled in the course were encouraged to work on their own passions and interests as an artist while developing a large body of work.

Here are some of my paintings I did during my time working on my concentration; you might see some of these at the South End Art Hop in Burlington in September, if you get a chance to visit the Innovation Building off Lakeside Avenue.
