These were made by cutting a circle in a piece of cardstock. Then I stamped around the circle (left) and inside the circle on the right. As I cut the hole bigger I got some more circles and adhered these to both sides. This morning I added lines close to the larger circles and small circles drawn with a felt tip marker. The Kandinsky style side stands alone. I did these on a scrap from the journal, very smooth paper, with colored pencils. I used Derwent coloursoft pencils which are rich colors.
Allowing time to immerse oneself in a motif allows it to mature.
Where do I get ideas? Well, last night,I had a vivid dream about making art. I was constructing a scene from transparencies on heavy paper. One transparency had tall grasses/weeds. The other had words inside brick shapes for a stonewall. These were piled up, tall and thick. I'm going to try to create it. Somehow, a former student was in the dream. She was hit by a car last week and is in stable but serious condition. Her role in the dream is unclear; I think she was suggesting words for the wall.

This abstract was done with scraps left from other pages. I hoped to capture the feeling around school. The online report card program was unavailable and teachers
were trying to get done. The unfocussed atmosphere was from spring fever, I'm sure. Today's text also merely lists the day's qualities.

This entry marks the annual exhibit of student in Exeter, NH. I submitted the Joseph Cornell boxes by the 4th grade. We took both classes to see the exhibit. I was interested in some of the line work done by other students.
