We’re about to start week 5 of the fall semester here at the Kansas City Art Institute, and I realize I’ve fallen behind on my own blog a bit - after assigning my students to update their new blogs at least once a week! You see, in our Professional Practice class I’ve required the seniors I teach to put up their own blog sites (for free) at WordPress.com.
I think it’s a fun and very useful assignment, and a great way for me to check on their writing assignments, too - resumes, artist statements, article reviews, etc. Plus they get to see the fruits of their labor organized and up on the web - and can make updates to these sites easily themselves. I thought I’d list the links to all of my students’ sites in case you are curious about what KCAI students are up to! And to the students - if you guys happen to read this and DON’T want your blog site linked here just send me an email or comment and i’ll take you out of here.
