Again, a shout out to Art Class Curator for the inspiration and the beginning-of-the-year suggestions.

We'll be taking a look at Thomas Moran's "The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone" (1872) sometime in December

Now I'll finish up the Fashion as Design course I started a few weeks back and get ready for the National Geographic class that begins tomorrow!


And lurking in the back of my mind the whole time will be my next update for the new school year, Video of the Week.
