@laurentoriginals did an all-school zoom with us today! I was so busy listening to him talk and watching the students make art I totally forgot to take any pictures during. But here is some of the work the students made. They were totally inspired❤️ #d97art #irving97 #WeAreD97

In love with these #1stgradeart embroidery pieces! They learned the running stitch and overcast stitch as well as how to thread a needle and tie a knot. #irving97 #d97art #oakpark97 #WeAreD97

Loving these black & white drawings inspired by artist #charlesmcgee! Great intro to #line for the beginning of the school year. #oakpark97 #d97art #irving97 #weared97 Oak Park District 97

This art inspired by #charlesmcgee was the perfect beginning of the year lesson for my students. So accessible for 1st-5th as well as my #multineeds students plus a great review/intro on line, drawing materials, cutting AND gluing! #irving97 #d97art #oakpark97 #weared97
