Method To My Madness -I'm going to take students on a little trip into my studio.  From beginning to end I'm going to let students tag along as I conceive and create a piece of art. We start off with the inspiration and design- I'll show students how I begin a piece and what I do to research and prepare.  I'll then take students into the world of hunting and gathering- flea markets and trash bins for supplies.  Maybe a stop off at an art store or two for other goodies.  Next construction and paint. - watch me build and paint and finish.  I'll be giving commentary during the process. Finally a final critique of what I've done.   Not sure what I'm going to make yet...you'll have to wait and see.

Method 2 My Madness: Curse of the Clown - I'm going to take students on a little trip into my studio once more.  This is a continuation of the Method To My Madness series, where you are invited to watch me as I conceive and create a piece of art. You'll follow me as I design, struggle, sweat, collect, create and dance…that's right, I'll even dance. We start off with the inspiration and design, where  I'll show students how I begin a piece and what I do to research and prepare.  Next I'll take everyone with me as I do a bit of hunting and gathering at various flea markets and trash bins for supplies.  Maybe a stop off at an art store or two for other goodies.  Once all the goodies have been acquired, I can begin the fun part... construction and painting.  All throughout the process, I'll be offering pithy and punny commentary. Finally, as a finale, comes the critique of the work.  In this edition, Curse of the Clown, I will be battling a nefarious clown faced thingy!  Will I succeed in transforming it into something deMengy?  Can I survive the bulbous nosed goon?  Or will the last laugh be on me?  Stay tuned for "Method 2 My Madness: Curse of the Clown".
