I suspect so. And some of the artists at Burning Man use young people in helping to put together their creations. –Curt

My pleasure, Heather. We were so very pleased to see the quality and variety in the work this year. Honestly, I have no idea how teachers have time to produce such great work. Thanks for your note. And I hope lots of people attend the show!

Thank you for featuring the work of Knox County Art Educators. I supervise the Visual Arts Department, and I was so pleased to see this blog post. Our teachers work tirelessly all year and make the time to create and show their own artwork. This is critical to being an effective art teacher, and I’m proud to know and work with each one of them. Thank you for your support.

Thanks for taking a look. I love that watery technique of Rush Hour Traffic also.

You are so right, Curt. And how these folks have time for art with all their other responsibilities is beyond me. No doubt some of the artists for Burning Man are in the public schools helping kids learn the value of art. Or at least I hope so.

Thanks for taking a look at these art pieces. I included One of the Those Days again because it, too, was one of my favorites from the show. Appreciate your comment!

What a good idea, featuring teacher art. It seems to me that a teacher who is creative in her or his personal life will bring that creativity into the classroom. Everyone benefits. –Curt
