Hell,

I checked out the student website that you provided and I just wanted to comment on the work. I'm very impressed. Josh I do believe his name is has a wonderful talent. I'm especially impressed with his drawing titled "Feline Woman"...It's wonderful, and looks even better when color is added to it!!! This boy definitely has some talent. This is better than some of what I see by students in my college coarses. He should be proud of himself.

A 9th grader with a shaved head and LOTS of piercings stopped in my 8th grade classroom the other day. We got talking about his taking art (he doesn't currently) as I walked him to his computer class (which he is failing). He told me about "anime" drawings he does. I encouraged him to create a web site and post his work.

And he did.

Here's his site. http://omega_x2002.tripod.com/terrafirma/id1.html

I'd love it if you'd check it out and send me comments. And art direction? (I know--I'm making a referral to the outreach counselor, too.) He might find inspiration in the feedback.

Thanks in advance,

Trish

(PS--he got credit for it in his computer class. Psych!)
