At a recent conference at SCAD, an art college, I realized the power of exploring the vast array of artistic careers available. Why shouldn’t students have to opportunity to start working towards their passions and figuring out what path will take them there.
We are also immersed in a digital culture where visual images dominate our world. It is now so important to know how to interpret images and create artworks that give a platform to student voice.
Even using various skills, techniques, and media, we can all still connect, share, and give feedback to support each other in the telling of stories, and the exploration of ideas and emotions.

Parents/guardians (aka- Managers): It is best practice to have your student log into Google Classroom and review assignments posted there. You should have their login information as we are a team in the business of educating your child.

Classes are run like students have a job in a Design Studio.
In addition, there will be feedback loops, on a linked Padlet, that will have peer feedback
and show planning, process, and finished work for peer critique.
The students are evaluated each month on their progress, using goal-setting surveys, process posts, feedback comments on Padlet, and weekly updates/assignments in the Broyles Design Group Company Portal.

Problem-solving is the foundation of art and design work. The greatest skill I can teach you is how to run into a problem, evaluate resources, test solutions, and then share your learning to benefit others.
You can explore different media, or hone your skills in one area of expertise.
There will be skills that each of you will need to learn to be an active member of the Design Team. These skills will enhance any art, design, or tech class you take. They will also enhance your ability to work with others, and create ways to cultivate empathy and connection with your community.

All assignments in Google Classroom
will need to be completed by the final semester deadline for credit to be earned. All assignments in Google Classroom
*Just like a job, sometimes people need more time to work on projects,
so deadlines are fluid if the student needs it, except for the semester deadline.
I do have to put in grades after due dates, but catch up, do the work, and I will change the grade based on the work.

Sometimes we need to PAUSE. and that is ok.
Sometimes we need to PAUSE. and that is ok.
Pause. Play. Slow Forward.
Pause. Play. Slow Forward.
I have been thinking about the idea of PAUSE. A temporary stop. Temporary inaction especially caused by uncertainty. A break in a verse. A brief suspension of the voice to indicate the limits and relations of sentences and their parts. A button that stops the show, so I can move my attention to something else.
Sometimes the stress of it all can overload the system and a pause must be taken.
On Wednesday, I closed my computer... after so many meetings and gotta catch up on this, and gotta plan that, and oh, gotta design this, and oh, don't forget to do that... and I paused. Spending my days in Fast Forward was not the way I want my show to be played. I took a deep breath...took a nap...and ate dinner with my family.
Pause.
It is temporary. It is not Stop, or Delete.
Play.
I am going to play with some art. I am going to play with some words. I am going to play Wii with my dad.
I am going to move forward, but a SLOW FORWARD. Like what happens when you move forward from a PAUSE in a show.
How do you know when you need to PAUSE? What do you do to enable the system reset during the PAUSE? and How do you move out of the PAUSE without jumping right back into Fast Forward?
Take a PAUSE. The show will go on.
BUT DO NOT GET STUCK IN PAUSE... we gotta PLAY!
Growth.
Growth.
I love having flowers in the house. It brings calm to me. I recently grew some Paper-white flower bulbs in my house. My dad laughed when he saw the dish I had them in... apparently, I had them upside down. Well, now I knew why they weren't growing. Checking the water, adding a little bit more each day to keep it level with the bottom, gave me something to take care of each day which felt good. Eventually, they started to grow roots that helped them stand up in the tray and reach for the light. Some days they grew more than others. They also all grew on their own schedule. There was one bulb that grew so slowly. I almost thought is was not going to make it, but it just needed some time, and is the only one left now. Each day the leaves would be facing a different direction as I kept turning the dish. I liked seeing them change and flex, and I had to come to terms with my notion of just trying to get them to stand up straight. They did what they wanted. I eventually tied them all together for support because they were growing so tall and needed to lean on each other to not topple over! This experience has allowed me to think of GROWTH.
How do you define GROWTH? What helps you to keep GROWING? How would you like to GROW during this time we have (in any way)? Specifically in art or technology, How would you like to GROW during this time?
