AP Studio Art Reception

On Thursday, Nov. 6, a special reception for the AP Studio Art Teachers Exhibit was hosted by University Center Greenville and USC Upstate in conjunction with the South Carolina Art Education Association State Conference. There was a wonderful turnout of over 75 artists, friends and family. Everyone enjoyed the ice cream bar catered by Marble Slab and the new products from Art and Frame.

Updates

Hi All,
Just a few updates to let you know about items since the class. I have recovered from the fall and how trying to get my foot back in shape. I have also posted your grades and of course no one passed. :) without an "A". Anyway, I did receive a nice note from Dr. Flurher about our book.

" What a surprise! The Greenville Museum book, while most welcome--and absent from my personal library was not necessary. I love giving the tour of the new space, particularly to such and attentive and knowledgeable group as yours and if all other tours had been so thoughtful and generous as yours I would, indeed, have a considerable collection of books! You are welcome anytime and please let me know if I can help in any way. Roy"

Does anyone know...

if/when the sc graduation requirement for a "fine arts"credit will take place? and what will be considered "fine arts"

Update on my swan dive in the hallway

Hi Group,
I trust that everyone had a safe return to their homes today. I am also home after a visit to the university health services. The nurse said no broken bones or smashed parts as far as she could tell. Nurse "Sarah" did the best emergency care for me this morning with ice was the perfect thing. Thanks, Sarah. The university nurse said that tomorrow I might look like I had been in a fight....black and blue all over. Looks like I will have to practice my swan diving act in a place that has a softer surface.

Anyway, I am totally in agreement with Bobby that the artwork is totally awesome. The FOCUS Gallery web exhibition and November exhibit at the University Center will be tribute to the fabulous artist/teachers that I had the privilege to work with this semester.

Have a restful summer and keep in touch, Mary Lou

Impressive Class This Year!

Hi guys, I just wanted to say what Mary Lou already said about what an impressive class you all were this year. The artwork you shared today was awesome and will make for a great display in November. Your schools and students are very fortunate to have such dedicated, enthusiastic, and caring art teachers in their community. Great job to all, have a restful summer!

Class Size Continuation

I talked with my Dad who is a fire chief and fire marshal and he said that the number of allowable students is determined by the total square footage of the room. Each student is given 20 sq. ft. so multiply the length by the width of your room and divide that by 20. This will give you the total number of students allowed in your room by law. If your room is 10ft by 20ft then you multiply 10 x 20 = 200 sq. ft. Divide 200 by 20 and you get 10. 10 is the total number of students allowed by law. There are exceptions to this rule so I would recommend that you contact your local fire department and talk to the fire chief or fire marshal. I am sure they would be happy to come out to your room and take a look or talk to you about any concerns or questions you may have. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions that I may be able to answer.
