Art Teachers Are Talking!

It has been so much fun and a lot of challenges getting my sites up and running. The really good news is that art educators are emailing me and we are talking about different issues in the classroom. It is great to finally arrive at this place where connections are being made. 

Clearly, it is important to put all the bells and whistles on your site, and you might be waiting a long time if you are stubborn and muleheaded like me and want to learn how to do this stuff yourself. The fact remains that I had assistance along the way with several groups of people whom I meet with on a weekly basis. Without their assistance, I may still be reading books about building web sites. Thanks to all of my helpers and my support network!
Now I am happy to say that two sites are launched and although still under construction, they are out there just waiting to assist others in their classroom challenges. Visit them and tell me what you think. http://www.artworkontheweb.com and my second site: http://web.mac.com/jmh5/_My_Virtual_Art_Room/Welcome.html
 The painter, Robert Blair said that " The element of risk is part of the challenge of watercolor." The element of risk is a significant part of the challenge of living life on the edge. I know that many times I stopped before I took the leap into the unknown, and when I finally just acted, and leaped— it was some of the most exhilarating times of my life. So this action is like none other, as it forces me to live bigger than I originally thought that I was capable of.  Now I say, bring it on,bring it all on! I am ready and willing to grow and learn and stretch myself to greater awareness and new levels of  knowledge.
