I have been absent from blogging for quite awhile! I'm Jude Harzer...a painter, educator , Mom of 2 adult children and a passionate seeker of the creative and curious!
I'm packing to prepare for my European excursion to document street art and public works from Bristol to Berlin. Thanks so much to Fund for Teachers for supporting this initiative. As an FFT Fellow, I will share my experiences and new discoveries throughout the next three weeks and upon my return, right here. I hope you will follow me as I wander and learn. My intention is to guide my students at Brick Memorial High School, in my new Mural Painting class this autumn, to create their own public works to benefit the entire school community. I hope that my stories, images and experiences will inspire them through their process.
I am beyond excited! I invite you all to come away with me!

| Me in my studio July 18, 2019. Time to set my work aside and wander to discover new artists, paintings and places. Large scale public works differ from more intimate personal studio painting in that it attracts a community, commands attention, and invites immediate interaction and commentary! photograph by Andrea Nardozza |

| Thank you Fund for Teachers for awarding me a fellowship to explore, learn and to enrich both my own and my student's creative experiences.
And here are a few useful resources for teachers and art appreciators alike.
Let's start in Bristol!
