Welcome Coyotes!


This is the place to find out about the art world in and around Fort Worth especially for the parents, students and friends of Carlson. I will also post links for contests, exhibits, classes and things that might be of interest to art students and their families.

I am always collecting ideas for projects that can be done at home, whether they be art experiences or craft ideas. Because the structure of our school day doesn't allow for as much in depth work as I would enjoy...or the students would enjoy, for that matter...I hope you will try some of the cool ideas I have found. Also, if YOU have cool ideas that you think other students would be interested in, please feel free to send them to me to post here.

More Summer Fun with Art!





Jo DuFo, renowned muralist and all around creative individual, is offering an opportunity to work at her home/studio this summer in a program called Wall Visions. Along with Michael RoDriguez, (filmmaker, compose, photographer and artist) campers will create a thematic mural and document the process with digital photography and film. Students will work side by side with these artists to create a finished mural for exhibition at a later date as well as a documentary film that is shot and edited by campers.

Camp sessions run June 21st - 25th, July 12th - 16th, July 19th - 23rd from 12:30 to 5:30 each day. A week costs $195 plus a $30 supply fee. You can sign up for one or all weeks. Each will be a different themed mural. For campers aged 8 - 18.

This workshop/camp is a fantastic opportunity to work with real artists. It is not a "how to" course, so much as an apprenticeship. They are looking for kids who are serious about the work of an artist.

Interested? Contact Jo DuFo at 817-673-1492 or email at jo.dufo@sbcglobal.net Her studio is located at 1701 College Ave. in Fairmount.
