My students in the beginning and advanced painters class at Maryville University held a 3 day exhibition of their work starting Tuesday.It was a smashing success!
We prepared our classroom to look like a gallery --- and hung the work with nametags. It was wonderful.
Invited guests and food, music provided a festive atmosphere. So many compliments and well wishers.
I was so proud of them~!
Maryville painters rock!
Stop by tomorrow if you have time.

ReplyDeletethank yoi! they are a great group of artists...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great exhibition! I love to see young people painting and so obviously enjoying it! You must be an excellent teacher!
ReplyDeleteBarb, I love being a teacher. I love my students! They are all great artists...and some will go on to have wonderful careers. It has been a big blessing to watch them grow!
ReplyDeleteCarol...having been a public school art teacher for 45 years, I can totally relate to what you are saying - we are blessed to be able to do this. I retired in June and most certainly miss the young people.
ReplyDeleteCarol,
ReplyDeleteA watercolorist artist friend of mine pointed me out to you. He said you have to look up this artist. She's somone I would like to aspire to! So, I did, and I am totally impressed by your work. I think it's great that you give up time to teach too. I work in colored pencil and acrylics. Whenever you get a chance look up my website and let me know what you think. I value your opinion very much. Here's my e-mail and art site:

Barb, my last class was on friday. i miss my students already! They always kept my inspired and focused. Many of them were terrific painters...and brought such joy to me.
ReplyDeleteDiane, I looked at your website and loved your work! Thank you for sharing. You are so talented with acrylic and colored pencils. I loved the still life! I will spend some more time on it tonight... but suffice it to say...you are an amazing artist.
I am teaching more these days... as it helps me with expenses. I also like sharing some of the techniques.
All best to you. Keep in touch everyone!
Carol - the last day is always sad - I know! Don't you just love those enthusiastic creative young people? You are young, so there will be more of these teaching experiences for you and benefits for your lucky students!
