A Wild Bunch

The semester draws to a close. I met with my Introduction to Drawing class for the last time. Here is a picture of the Art Posse.

(l to r): Sheree Barnes, Katie Glenn, Jennifer Spain, Lindsey Rominger, Alex Garcia, Linda Luanglathay, Justin Mabie (back), Raul Bonilla (front), Margie Pritchett, Innie Stam, Olga Ledyan, Jesus Torres, and Michael Ferrell (not pictured: Denis Rubaloff and Claudia Lutzen)

Having this class has led me to reconsider my policy on coffee consumption. This group had a lot of energy for an 8:00 a.m. class, and I can only attribute it to the rush of trying to stay alive on 540 during morning rush hour and/or the consumption, en masse, of large quantities of java. Studio classes have a different dynamic than lecture classes. The group is more "in the trenches" as a team and lasting relationships are more likely to be formed. Feel free to visit my webpage of student work on the NWACC site to see some new images I've added from this class to my collection from over the years. Push the "play" button to view an automatic slide show. Here are some highlights:
