Interesting Video on the Work of Theo Jansen

Theo Jansen  is a Dutch artist. In 1990, he began building large mechanisms out of  PVC that are able to move on their own and, collectively, are entitled, Strandbeest. The kinetic sculpturesappear to walk. His animated works are intended to be a fusion of art and engineering.

Welcome Back

I hope everyone enjoyed their summer break.  One week from today we begin a new school year.  Even after many years of teaching, I still feel some anxiety as opening day approaches.  However, I am excited to start and begin doing the work I enjoy.  I hope you are also looking forward to coming back.  I have been at school getting the room ready and putting the final touches on some new projects.  Enjoy the last few day of summer vacation and see you on Wednesday the 29th.
