My Biggest Failure - Casey Neistat

For the last nearly five weeks (since his birthday) Casey Neistat has been creating a daily vlog.
They are awesome. Great images and editing alike.

The below issue from today is particularly interesting I think.
In terms of life and education it talks about always "fighting" to get better and not become complacent. I would use a different set of wording were it me, but I think the sentiment is spot on.

Whether in our educational experiences or in life, getting lazy and not using our full ability and potential isn't good. Watch today's vlog and see what you think.

Logo Opportunity from the District

As you know, I was contacted by the district office for a reboot of our logo - which they rightly feel is a little out of date.
What ideas do you have?
Put them down on paper (don't worry about any text needing to be perfect) and get them to be by the middle of May and we'll see if your design gets chosen to be used by the district for the next however many years.

Here is a copy of our current logo. Time to make it better.
Oh, it doesn't have to include mountains and all of the same text. Think different.

Annual Student Art Exhibit


For the 4th year the Los Gatos Art Museum has held their county wide juried student art show.
Ivy was the only one from LG selected this year and I am super proud of her.
Below you can see two images from the catalog that was produced (cover and her image/statement). The show is on view through May 10th, and more info can be found HERE.

Art 4 Daily Drawing for 4/1 AND 4/3

We are near the end of our "daily drawing" routine so I would like to take some time near the end of our journey by mostly ending how we mostly began.
So figure drawing it is - for at least a little bit.


Meet up in the corner of the room near the screen and I will put an image up on the screen for us to all spend some time with. And...go!

For the one of you who was absent on 4/1, here is the image we used.




For our last day before spring break, Friday 4/3, here we go...
