The last week of summer break was spent in Chicago. Through Woodstock, I was able to attend an AP Studio Art teacher training session at the School of the Art Institute in downtown Chicago. The 5-day course was a mix of the nitty-gritty details of AP and hands-on studio time. I stayed in a dorm room in the Loop and had lots of options for shopping, eating, and sight-seeing at my fingertips. Laura and her mom visited for two days and then mom, dad, and Al visited for four nights. Highlights of the week include: the art institute's new modern wing, a spanish tapas bar, china town, contemporary art museum, and deep-dish pizza.
Laura, me, and the Bean.
The Bean (did you know that Anish Kapoor, the sculptor of the bean, went to a school very close to Woodstock?)
Chicago artist Roger Brown's house and collection of outsider art.
His entire house was piled with collections of art and objects!

Happy to be reunited with Lake Michigan!
