我超爱暑假——咱们坦白说吧：作为教师，暑假期间我们照常领工资，还不用天天去学校（大多数时候）。别误会，我可没说暑假就完全不工作！那么，你这个暑假都在忙些什么呢？我很想知道——欢迎留言！
我的暑假从五月底开始，八月五日返校参加岗前培训。遗憾的是，并非所有我原计划暑期完成的项目都能如期实现。好消息是，几项主要“待办事项”正稳步推进。
所以，我这个暑假都干了些什么……
在画室里创作艺术作品
我参与了HCBC奥斯汀分校“敞开之门画廊”（Open Doors Gallery）举办的“绿洲”（Oasis）展览。六月上旬，我集中精力为该展创作作品（《白兰花》）；目前正为八月另一场展览赶制新作（《迎光绽放的朱顶红》）。
: 为“绿洲”展览创作的《白兰花》
: 为儿子绘制的《哥斯拉／环太平洋》主题画（由他起稿，我执笔上色）
: 为八月展览创作的《迎光绽放的朱顶红》
在教会做志愿者
今年我协助为“极限冒险夏令营”（Xtreme Adventure Camp，面向四至六年级学生的强化版主日学/VBS）搭建舞台布景。我们时间极其紧张，但最终效果令人满意——孩子们尤其喜欢那个等身大小的蜘蛛侠喷射蛛网的装置。此外，我的孩子、丈夫和我也共同参与了“后院圣经俱乐部”（Backyard Bible Clubs，即在居民家中开展的主日学活动；今年共设55个家庭站点）。我的大孩子负责带领各小组，丈夫则全程拍摄所有站点的活动影像。
继续教育进修
目前我正通过《美术教育》（The Art of Ed）平台修读一门课程，其教学水准之高令我惊叹不已！真希望早些年就发现这个平台——那我定会成长为更出色的美术教师！！我当前修读的课程是《自主设计美术课程》。今后我一定会继续在这里选修更多课程！
更换教学教室
历经12年，学校终于为我分配了一间新教室——我简直太激动了！！！原来的教室形状奇特，很难容纳较多学生。空间尺寸与格局也严重限制了我们能开展的美术项目类型。而新教室宽敞许多，甚至还将配备一台拉坯机——啊啊啊！！！ 待教室布置完毕，我会再发帖分享进展 🙂
不言而喻，迄今为止这个暑假异常忙碌；再过几周我就要返校了，接下来只会越来越忙！
祝大家度过一个愉快又放松的暑假！

What is THIS Art Teacher Doing Over Summer Break??

I LOVE summer break-let’s be honest as a teacher you get paid and don’t have to be at school (most of the time). Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t say that we don’t work over the summer! So what have you been doing over your summer? I’d love to know-leave a comment!
My summer started at the end of May and I return August 5th for in-service, sadly not all of the projects I had hoped to get done this summer aren’t going to happen. The good news is that the major “To Do’s” are getting done.
So this is what I have been up to…
In my Studio Creating Art
I am part of the “Oasis” Exhibit at the Open Doors Gallery at HCBC Austin. The first month of June I spent creating art for this exhibit (White Orchids) and am currently working on another piece for another exhibit going up in August (Amaryllis facing the light).
: White Orchids for Oasis Exhibit
: Godzilla/Pacific rim Painting for my son (he drew it & I’m painting it)
: Facing the light Amaryllis Painting for August Exhibit
Volunteering at Church
I helped create the stage for the Xtreme Adventure Camp (like VBS on steroids for 4-6th graders) this year, we have a very short amount of time to put it all together but it came out well-the kids especially liked the life-size Spiderman shooting webs. My kids, husband & I also helped out with the “Backyard Bible Clubs” (like VBS, but at people’s homes-we had 55 homes this year!). My older kids helped lead the clubs, husband shot video of all the clubs.
Continuing Education
Now I taking a class through the Art of Ed & I am SO impressed with the level of instruction! I wish I had found this a long time ago-I would be such a stronger teacher!! The class I’m currently taking is Designing Your Own Curriculum. I will DEFINITELY be taking more classes here!
Changing Classrooms
So after 12 years, my school is giving me a new classroom- I”M SO EXCITED!!! My old room was an odd shape & could not fit many students very easily. The room size/shape limited the kinds of projects we could do. Now I have LOTS of room & we are even getting a throwing wheel-AHHH!!!! I will post again after I have the room set up 🙂
Needles to say, this has been an incredibly busy summer so far and it’s just going to get busier as I start preparing to go back in a few weeks!
Wishing you all an enjoyable and relaxing summer vacation!
