I recognise the patterns in the sand from my childhood. The beach may have been on the other side of the world, but the wonder was just the same. This is a stunning series.<BR/><BR/>I'd just like to join one of your art classes. Sigh. So near and yet so far. Anyway, even at a distance, you did encourage me up to try mixed media. And many thanks, it's saved the day on a number of occasions!Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-34981810978253040462008-02-18T07:10:00.000+00:002008-02-18T07:10:00.000+00:00yes - that light going on is a great moment!thanks...yes - that light going on is a great moment!<BR/><BR/>thanks Cindy, Sharon and Billie for the vote of confidence!vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-68378571880683928332008-02-17T19:17:00.000+00:002008-02-17T19:17:00.000+00:00Must be very exciting teaching with the various ma...Must be very exciting teaching with the various materials...oil, pastels, cps, w/c.<BR/><BR/>Even though I teach colored pencil what I am concentrating on is the basics, value, drawing, composition, color theory. A relatively small amount of time is spent on the particulars of cp. <BR/> <BR/>It's always so exciting when the light goes on in a students eyes that what you are teaching in cp also applies to their w/c or pastels..etc.<BR/><BR/>Really enjoying your teaching posts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05695880592300626881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-80265906109626157212008-02-17T19:16:00.000+00:002008-02-17T19:16:00.000+00:00Vivien, you sound like the 'dream teacher'. i envy...Vivien, you sound like the 'dream teacher'. i envy your students! i love that the students not only learn but you do also.Billie Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336330932102277633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-73022527951687821382008-02-17T17:37:00.000+00:002008-02-17T17:37:00.000+00:00Hi VivienYour classes sound magical, I wish I live...Hi Vivien<BR/>Your classes sound magical, I wish I lived near enough to take them :-)sharon younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11227806755585216350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-2366208593842692962008-02-17T13:39:00.000+00:002008-02-17T13:39:00.000+00:00Hi Martha and Shirleyyes, it's certainly hard work...Hi Martha and Shirley<BR/><BR/>yes, it's certainly hard work! but as you say, so much more rewarding, more interesting to teach and I learn too - and success rates are definitely good :)<BR/><BR/>I bet your class loved it Shirleyvivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-72063189565127133522008-02-17T12:37:00.000+00:002008-02-17T12:37:00.000+00:00HiI was a primary school teacher until retirement ...Hi<BR/>I was a primary school teacher until retirement and I taught every child in the class as an individual each having their own progress program. It was so much harder to teach that way but as you find - the success results were so much better and the children loved having their own program.<BR/>Hope your students appreciate your approach and how much harder it is to teach that way.<BR/>CheersShirley Anne Sherrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15802613285739321177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-71276328874750970292008-02-17T12:21:00.000+00:002008-02-17T12:21:00.000+00:00This is my favorite approach to teaching.
