Summer Artwork Blog
This blog was created in an effort to help guide the artwork of my students who are entering Art IV and V next year. It is my goal to share the individual feedback that I am giving my students. This forum should allow all of my students to see my commentary for the work of their classmates, and will hopefully help to spark ideas about the work created this summer.

Online Gallery
I have created a variety of galleries that are available for on line viewing. These galleries include images from my Art III, Art IV, and Graphic Design classes. Please take the time to look at these galleries to get an idea of the art-making that is done in the art department of DRHS. Click Here to view the artwork

Scholastics Competition: Statistics
Having coached soccer and golf for so long, I found that the all-time team and individual statistics were great motivators for my players. Since I'm in the unique situation of having been at Deep Run since it opened, I figured I might as well find out what the data tell me about departmental progress. I recently sorted through all of the scholastics records of the DRHSART department since it opened in 2002. I have compiled that data into a webpage containing all of the award winners in our school's history, and have created a points system to rank our student achievement.

It is my goal to use this document as a motivational tool for the rising senior class. The class of 2010 is incredibly competitive, and it is my goal that students use this web page to evaluate their achievements against the best art students who have been through the DRHS ART Program, with the aim of reaching the top of the list..

GALLERY CRITIQUES
THIS PERTAINS TO ALL OF MY CLASSES. PLEASE MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO VISIT A LOCAL RICHMOND GALLERY ONCE EACH NINE WEEK PERIOD

Here is a link to the asignment: GALLERY CRITIQUE DIRECTIONS

Remember, this is supposed to be fun. Be creative, take interesting photos of yourself in the Richmond art scene, and write me a very informal description of your experience. Don't forget to bring me some kind of literature from the exhibition (a postcard, pricelist, etc.).

Here is a site that contains information about the galleries that parcipate in the First Fridays Art Walk.
