As a student of Ikebana, most arrangements are regulated by the sequential lessons in four instruction books. Free style arrangements allow for creative expression, so I am inspired by and full of gratitude to use ceramic vessels created by my children in their elementary and high school art classes.
So many facets of art lessons carry over into adulthood: visualization, prepartation, organization, coordination, attention to details, practice . . . . Art class played a big part in preparing our children and me for college and careers-- industrial design, pre-med, mechanical engineering and urban/transportation planning.
Thanks, Ms. Gaskins (MCN), Ms. Grant, Mr. Magoto (SUV), Mr. Nicaise, and Ms. Probst (SUA) !!! RIP, Sr. M. Reina (NDA).
