Give it a try—a deeply fabulous thing to explore over time. And yeah, you're right—time for the old spring cleanse here anyway, for sure!! Thanks, K, and yay!

I keep staring into it and seeing more. I learned how to stretch canvas and jesso the other day in Lila's classroom (the kids are all going to get to paint a canvas over the next couple of weeks to go along with their garden study). I'm taking Ty up to the big art supply store in Akron this weekend so he can spend his holiday gift certificate (needs new sketch books and inking pens) and I plan to get some frames, canvas and jesso...(spelling it right?) and I'm going to start playing around with acrylics. I may even just start with some of the house paint we have left. Salt kills me. I had 2 meals out yesterday (1 Chinese at lunch, the other Mexican at dinner) and not only do I look 5 months pregnant, I also lay awake all night last night and am absolutely fried this morning. Salad with lemon for lunch today and lots and lots of water. Time to do the spring cleanse, methinks. Tyler has been doing a lot of self portrait work with his art class in 9th grade, and is always grabbing the mirror off of the wall to bring into his room. He's doing some great work.

Brilliant. Its seems most of us take things seriously when we do a self-portrait or even a lot of other stuff. We're really trying to get to the point where those kinds of uptight feelings don't get in the way of just experimenting. mdf—Thanks for the upside-down tip! Brilliant.

You think of such brilliant projects. It will be interesting to see (not to compare)the mirror images with the work frm photos. Easier to draw/paint from the photo if it is upside down, especially when entering the murky waters of self-portrait. Have fun exploring...wish I could join you. mdf, What an elegant drawing.

That was such an interesting and volatile period of art history anyway but the picture of Duschamp in drag is priceless. Did you ever read Calvin Tompkins "The Bride and the Bachelors"? I think that's the title, after the Duschamp piece. I had a professor who was so in love with that piece that when I actually saw it in real life I think I expected it to levitate ;-) Anyway, Tompkins wrote about the period with grace and humor--I highly recommend him to anyone who hasn't been initiated. Great ideas you bring to your class! You were probably awake all night just being excited. Salt? Pooey! I've had to cut salt out of my diet so it would just kill me, never mind keep me up all night....rambling here, sorry! ;-) how fun is this???
