A Good Sign

Last Monday, I found myself in Miami visiting The University of Miami. This was painted on the side of one of the art buildings and I liked it!

Second Grade Surrealism

Second grade students just completed their study of Marc Chagall. Chagall (1887-1985) was born in Russia and studied art in Russia and France. I love the way the students captured Chagall's style. His quote, "Great art picks up where nature ends," surrounds each piece.
