Best Class Ever !

Without a doubt 8th grade art had to be my favorite class ever ! Between my amazing teacher Mrs. Kersten and the awesome friends that surrounded me, it was just a blast. I never knew how many memories could be made in just one half year course. Either it was exploding paint onto the ceiling, getting my Times Square Mandala getting selected for the superintendents permanent art collection, big mac making or just getting made fun by Mrs. Kersten for my “oxygen tank” that just made that class so amazing. She was just one of the best teacher I know. She makes a class fun and enjoyable when still keeping it a learning environment. Now let me explain about the paint on the ceiling. One day we were making our glass window displays with a gel constancy paint. When my friend Meghan Snyder asks me to see if I could get her paint tube un-clogged. Of course, me being the awesome friend I am, went at it and tyred my best. Well this clog just wasn't coming out. So I just squeezed and squeezed, not realizing the possible outcome. I think you can all guess what happens next. The paint tube erupted like a volcano straight at the ceiling and then misted everyone at my table, their artwork and Mrs. Kersten’s desk. Now moving on to when I got to except my artwork in front of the whole town board at one of the meetings. Like I had mentioned before, my mandala had gotten chose for the superintendents permanent art collection. I was invited to a bored meeting to except my award and listen to her speech. And wouldn’t you know, in her speech she makes a whole section dedicated to the splatter painting on her ceiling. Embarrassing moment of my life. She had everyone roaring with laughter, and me on the other hand. I was beet red and ready to leave. But those are just one of the many amazing memories created in Mrs. Kersten’s 8th grade art class.
