Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

We had a good run.

Today marks the end of my time in CCAD’s Saturday Morning Art Class program. After being a student for twelve years, I came to college here and have worked as a teaching assistant these past four years. And now I’m graduating. I will miss helping fifth-graders create. I will miss fighting a losing battle to organize art supplies in a cabinet. I will even miss the boring, mandatory, bi-yearly professional development meetings. Most of all, I will miss working with Derrick Ehlen—a dear friend and a very good teacher. The end is difficult.

To celebrate my first week back at CCAD’s Saturday Morning Art Classes, here is a video of my esteemed colleague, Derrick, doing a creative drawing exercise.

I was an assistant for CCAD’s saturday morning art classes this year. This is me and the guy I taught with, Derrick, who is a SMAC legend and a really swell dude.
