Mr. Harris goes to Chicago

For the first time, my wife surprised me with a trip to Chicago for my birthday.  I have always wanted to go and, BLAM, my wife drops one of the best gifts an art teacher could get, in my lap.

Chicago

I have only seen many of these artworks in books or on the net.  I can not express to my students and fellow art educators how important it is to see them in person.  I take the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City for granted since I have visited it a bazillion times.  It was so refreshing seeing all of this culture first hand.  CS students, it is my goal for us to visit Chicago in the next 4 years.  Get ready.

More photos from the Art room of Mr. Harris.  Again, sorry for the delay.  Time and Technology problems prevented me from posting.  Enjoy.

Like Sands Through the Hourglass......

For reasons every educator understands, time slips through the fingers quickly and due to that and technological problems, posts for this blog were put on the back burner. The following are images that will catch everyone up to date on activities in the Art room of Mr. Harris.  Enjoy.  And sorry for the lapse in time.
