Greetings Citizens. Yesterday in my 19th Century Processes class, I showed some slides of famous (and not-so-famous) paintings along with some photographs for the students to critique using the Critical Response to Art Product (CRAP) handout. Hopefully, it eased a little tension some of the students have about talking about work. Afterwards, I "lectured" them on the value of giving (and receiving) criticism on their work while they are in school. Hopefully, some of them will come out of their shells a little at the next critique. Then, I cut them loose. Some of the kids went to Angie's, some went home, but most of them stayed and worked on their newly developed images.

After class, I went home and took a nap. Then I went back up to school to finish my grading. I'm almost done.
