2 Point

30"x20" foam core.

Oh My Goth!

Can't Help Myself

This is what I do while I'm sittin' around whatching the tube (maybe having a beer). I'm a multi-tasker. Like I said before, my classroom needs art. It might as well be didactic. These are all on 30" x 20" foam core. I didn't put it in this drawing (maybe I should) but all of those diagonal lines are called "lines of convergence" because they converge on the vanishing point.

16th Note Permutations

Another one of my teaching aides. A chart of the 16 possible permutations of four 16th notes/rests. Take any combination of four squares to create a rhythm in 4/4 time.

Art Mind Map

Here's my most elaborate one yet. This is on a 30" x 20" piece of foam core. All of the drawing was done with a combination of Sharpie markers and Highlighters. The classroom I'm in has no artwork up, no color. I wanted to get something up fast that has high key color and eye catching design. I wanted something original, not the usual posters of Van Gogh. I need to make a few more.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

I teach a percussion class at a boy's camp every summer. I had twenty-six boys in two classes this year. I only get four one-hour sessions to teach them a complete piece for performance on the last day of camp (the tallent show night). This year I combined buckets and body percussion and it was the hit of the whole camp.
