My daughter and I were watching a cop program about Spring Breakers in Florida last year--the knifings, the alcohol abuse, armed robberies, drug abuse, fights, and we were glad we've always taken family spring breaks.
Cops on the program invariably said they wondered if parents knew how dangerous it could be for their kids. One kid was trying to break into a girl's hotel room, his jeans on backwards. When the cop asked him why he was wearing his pants backwards, the college senior---yes, I'm not talking high school students or younger here--couldn't say.
Alcohol and drugs and 35,000 spring breakers with only 35 police officers on patrol to keep them safe is a disaster waiting to happen.
Make spring break a family holiday. Keep your kids safe.
Check out The Portrait Party...a blog that deals with portraits and is now accepting posts of artist's self-portraits. I don't have time to do one at the moment, but am posting about it for you all. It sounds like a fun challenge.
Who am I and how do I look to others? Bob Raczka’s Here’s Looking at Me: How Artists See Themselves, an American Library Association Notable Book for middle readers, stimulates children to explore these two fascinating and important human questions. Fourteen artists’ self portraits, from Velasquez to Harlem painter Jacob Lawrence, introduce children to the many ways that visual artists portray themselves.
Parents and teachers who want kids to explore art on its own terms will find this primer on self-portraits much to their liking. In addition, check out Just Like Me, a multicultural collection of artist self portraits–along with artists’ statements and their childhood photographs–and this art workshop, based on Just Like Me. For some great online ideas about kids’ self-portraits, click here.
Finally, following up on my series of posts on spiritual literacy, here’s Concord Magazine’s gallery of spiritual self portraits by children.
Cloth Paper Scissors is an informative magazine about collage, mixed media and artistic discovery. Take a look at the collage-fabric self portraits, which are fantastic!

This is too much fun to ignore. I hope I have time to do one. The ones that are up already are great.
What an interesting idea...and a good idea.
