Teaching middle school students...

Since December 2008, I've been 'artist-in-residence' at the Gilmore Academy in Brockton, Massachusetts. Interested in my daily experiences with middle school students? Read my dedicated blog.

Truthfully, I'm having a blast...the students have forced me out of the studio and launched me back into the thick of teaching. Having a week and a half to put something together, I managed to bumble through week one and had them pegged by week two...and I've looked nothing but forward to each class.

And how does an artist get a gig like this?
