Readings & Assignments for Tuesday, September 9

Hello Everyone,

The first of class will be when everyone can present their art event or turn in their papers. We will also share our "I Am From Poems" and unsung heroes.

For the reading I have decided we will only look at one article, Girls, Worms, and Body Image on page 107. This will create a change for our next reading, and I will announce that in class on Tuesday.

Remember First Friday Art Trail is tomorrow night. Check out the website at ffat.org.
