@cpmediadesigner @RonFilipkowski Let’s see, May has Memorial Day and July has Independence Day. Looks like you’ve got two contenders that are bookending a fabulous celebration.

@noringe88195 @DevGlyphX @charliekirk11 @realDonaldTrump Harming children? How many Harvard students are under the age of 18?

@BearsMom73 @TizzyEnt Your use of the term “mental gymnastics,” makes me think you just found out about the term and think it’s cool to use. Either way, I’d love to hear you explain how stating facts requires any creative thinking.

@CentralBulldog Digital Photography 1 students got their hands on DSLR cameras for the first time today. @officialSPS @bethanykelly917

@bethanykelly917 isn’t always aware of the cupcake photo battle her and I have every time the @CentralBulldog A+ office has their end of semester lunch. Sometimes she eats her Urban Cup cupcake before she takes a photo. Judging is subjective, but I usually destroy her.

Art Foundations students are designing their own album art. Beyond that, they are being introduced to cameras through flat lay photography. We are wrapping up the semester strong! @CentralBulldog @officialSPS

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:

– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them. 

– Don’t share things before checking your sources. 

– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.

I took my @CentralBulldog Digital Photography classes outside while the weather was nice last week. I’m looking forward to seeing their photos. @officialSPS #digitalphotography #springfieldMO

Digital Photo kids at @CentralBulldog are working on Agamographs! Lenticulars combine two images that change as the viewer moves around it. This is my example. I’m eager to see what students do! @officialSPS

[Patrick Burns @thepatrickburnz]

@CentralBulldog Digital Photostudents are working on Agamographs (aka lenticulars). Students have to take two, visually opposing, photos and create a piece that changes as the viewer’s perspective changes. This is my example. I’m excited to see what students do! @officialSPS

InkDrops for Spring semester’s Digital Photography 2 classes turned out pretty awesome! @officialSPS @CentralBulldog #inkdrop #digitalphotography

Haven’t you heard, about the word? #birdistheword

We’ve set up a bird feeder and heated bird bath in the back yard and it hasn’t disappointed one bit!

[Patrick Burns @thepatrickburnz]

While students were hard at work finishing up some projects, I got creative and started making logos for some of my Graphic Design projects. @CentralBulldog @bethanykelly917 @officialSPS

Today’s InkTober word is “Dangerous.”

I decided to play “Everybody Get Dangerous” by Weezer for my Art Foundations class as they created their masterpieces. I may have appreciated the song more than they did.

Well done @StLouligans… very well done #AllForCity

First big project for Art Foundations is the Zentangle Animal Safari. The kiddos are knocking it out of the park! @officialSPS @CentralBulldog @bethanykelly917

My quote for the day.

"Tomorrow's my birthday
I'll sign up for karate
And I'll kidnap the sensei and Get the black belt probably"

When Bohemian Rhapsody comes on in my classroom and my students sing along… and then really get into it, it makes my heart happy. @CentralBulldog @QueenWillRock
