Children under 14 are always free, but now you can take your parents to the new modern wing and explore all the cool artwork together!  Check out the Art Institute website for all the details and other free programs they're offering in the month of February.

Oh! Joyous Return!

I am excited to announce that my "You Can Draw Marvel Characters" book has been returned to the art room!  Yayy!
Check your lockers, classrooms, and under the bed - you might not even realize that you borrowed a book!
