1-11-11 Art Reflection

Okay, this is going to be great fun. I am doing a reflection post about art and how it's been a part of my life.

I am the second oldest of a blended family of 14 kids. We always had projects going on; coloring, painting, etc. My step dad is a local artist. His name is David Dean. He does most of his work out of his home so I've seen his pottery, paintings, and architecture all in the making.

My mother is a strong art advocate. She is involved in many art events. She is a great painter, she took the hobby up a few years ago. She helps out with the PTA, judging the Art Reflections for Provo School District.

In 5th grade I took dance from Jean Dixon Elliot in Provo. I also took a few ballroom classes in Junior High. I took the required art and music classes in Highschool. I took an Introduction to Art class 9 years ago. I have always enjoyed being entertained by the Arts. My absolute favorite (and only) Broadways I've enjoyed are Legally Blonde and Wicked.

One of my favorite music bands is Green Day. I am secretly hoping my husband will surprise me with a spontaneous trip (for our 10 year anniversary) to see the American Idiot Broadway in New York!! I just love Billy Joe Armstrongs voice. If it doesn't happen, a CD will do!!

I have been an avid scrapbooker since highschool and have been a Stampin' Up demonstrator for the past 5 years. It is a fun hobby.

It is fun to share my love of all art forms with my kids and am excited to share them with my future students!
