"Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away!" - by Dr. SeussDr. Suess says it so well in his book "Oh, the places you'll go!" I absoluetly love this book and think a lot can be learned from it's message. Sometimes we will succeed and sometimes we own't , the important thing is to pick ourselves back up and continue along our way. I don't really consider myself to be an artistic person, but I love being creative and having the opportunity to learn new things. I have always loved painting and drawing, I just was never really good at it. I am looking forward to this art class and visiting others student's blogs. I am excited for the journey and am willing to be open to learning many different ways to be creative. The most important think is to have fun along the way.
'Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So. . . get on your way!" -Dr. Seuss

I love that book too. It is a popular gift for someone who is about to embark on a new phase of life. I also like the fact that Dr. Sues himself was a classically trained artist but began creating children's books because he couldn't draw hands very well. At least that's the story I heard...the point is that, as you mentioned, when he failed he picked himself back up and tried something else.
Thanks Mike. I actually got the book from my mom when I graduated High School. I plan on reading the book to my students during practicum.
