OKayyy My Turn, I guess, ifIhaveto.

Hi Multimedia Students its me.. Since I asked you to share something about yourselves in your blogs I suppose it is only fair that I do the same. I have been teaching in Sidney now for 33 years and yes that seems like a long time.  One thing that never seems very long is summer.  I try to pack as much into 10 weeks as possible.  Mr. Darling and I love being outdoors so you might have seen us on our road bikes.  We also enjoy backpacking and camping.  




This summer was an epic camping adventure, we visited in 4 different National Parks (Glacier, Rainier, Olympic and Rocky Mountain) and also volunteered for an Archaeological Dig with the US Forrest Service and Bureau of Land Management in Wyoming for a week. 



We have a tent and sometimes we just like to get away from civilization but sometimes we have company.



All of these pictures were taken with my iPhone,  even though I have a big camera I get lazy and big cameras are heavy when you are also carrying all of your food and sleeping gear. If I have one piece of advice, the best camera is always the one you have in your hand!

I also noticed several people mentioned that they enjoyed spending time by themselves and are jealous of their alone time.  This is for you

You should get out more

My Year In Review

To make a year in review slideshow in your blogger you need to go to picassaweb.google.com and upload photos.  Notice this is NOT google plus.  You can sign in using your raidermail account.  Some of the advantages of picasa are the editing tools, the ability to create a movie, it is an older google app but has lots of things you can do.

To create a slideshow in picasa share your album publicly, and choose the Link to Album arrow on the right.

select the options under the <embed> link for size and autoplay



Switch to HTML at the top left of your compose post window and past in the embed code.  Save and switch back to the compose mode.  Click on the Publish button and view your blog.

Dynamite Drawings

General art students have hit the ground running.  I see so many good examples of line drawing that I can hardly choose.  Here are 16 of our best!
Aubry has a really nice sense of composition, and good use of values

I really really like all of the crazy different types of line in Raine's expressive line work, some geometric, some organic

Wow I like this so much, it has such graceful line 

Ashley has an excellent eye for the whole page, I like all of her shading and textures too

Here's a complete drawing by Brianna, filled the page without taking away from the main subject.

Jocilyn is another student who makes great use of elegant line and very sophisticated rule of 1/3 in her composition.

Alia decided bigger is better and I agree.  Her arrangement makes a good composition because the positive and negative spaces are well balanced.

Another strong composition by Lindsey.  She uses the empty space to balance the more detailed pattern very well.

Jack is a good addition to the art department.  I liked his use of strong dark values to attract interest.

This expessive line drawing makes use of cross contour lines to make some of her lines appear to have volume.  Very Nice Brianna!

Jocilyn has such clever use of organic types of line to give a focal point and the other lines lead the viewers eye in and around the piece.  

Way to go Matthew.  I really like the way you drew the shapes  and filled the page beautiful line!

The longer that I look at Jaydn's expressive lines the more I see, great idea to use the edges of shapes to create line.

Talk about fluency of ideas, wow there is so much here.  I particularly like some of the really dark areas that add depth to the work.

Such nice pattern,  I almost missed the little cross contour heart, glad I spotted it Shayla!

Jonathon has got a creative mind full of weird little doodles!
