The Day before Play!

I am excited, very excited because I am off to play at the Heide Museum of Modern Art tomorrow.
I am excited firstly- because tomorrow I will be a student again at what I hope a will be a wonderful PD. And second- because tomorrow I will be able to forget that I am a teacher at work and just enjoy the Art Gallery. I love art galleries, a perfect place to live! So much to see, so much to learn and so much to absorb! I am there for the Rick Amor PD for teachers..... ohhhh the excitement is killing me! To be let loose in an art gallery is a privilege... seeing as I would otherwise be at work.
A SINGLE MIND: RICK AMOR 22 MARCH - 13 JULY 2008 at the Heide Museum of Modern Art.Back to reality- again another day of "my family". OK I am over that theme! Teaching the same theme to 6 different year levels in a week is just doing my head in. At least I won't have to think about it tomorrow. Though I must admit I am looking forward to having my favourite year level on Friday. The year 1 class are just beautiful this year. I know I will be taking pics of their work on Friday. They make coming to work on Fridays a pleasure! Till then I can show you the wonderful lino cuts from the very talented Year 6's I have. A Hundertwasser theme, and many cut fingers later these are the results.... what do you think? I think they are pretty cool. Not bad for year 6....... I am impressed! But then I am biased. Hundertwasser inspired lino prints with lots of line, crazy houses and just imaginary far away places.....there is no place like home...
So tomorrow is supposed to be cold, yes colder than today. It is always cold at Heide, it is Melbourne after all. Four seasons in one day.... Maybe a jacket and yes I would wear red shoes... If only I had a jacket like my Ballet doll below! I am soooo excited, off to play at Heide!!! I will tell you all about the fabulous visit tomorrow, say tuned and stay RED!!!
I am also ecstatic because today I received my first response from a fellow blogger, how cool.... that is a step in the right direction!
