Musings on a question I have never asked myself before

Am I an Artist?

Duchamp created a controversy with his entry of the Urinal as Art at the Amory show in 1917.  How many times have we seen modern sculpture in public places and wondered, “They call this art?”

One of my favourite art exhibits is the combination of various “parts” of machines that are welded/fastened together to form an abstract sculpture.  I enjoy identifying the individual pieces and marvel at how the mass creates a new identity.

Hello to everyone in ETEC 531!   I look forward to the collaboration and interaction between all of us this term and  I expect to be learning a great deal as I have in 511 and 500 already!.

I taught in elementary schools for 4 years before switching to high school teaching geography to Grade 9s and 12s. I was asked to become a curriculum consultant at our central office and worked with secondary teachers in workshops on best practice for 4 years.  Then I dipped my toes into the adminstration pool and became assigned to the secondary programming department as a system principal.  This is my second year in this role and it became obvious that it was time to work on my Masters program.  So far so good!
