Gathering visual references for our fauvist landscape paintings while enjoying the crisp fall air! Lucas Spielman #usmfac #arted #arteducation

Learning about the beautiful folk art of Retablos taught to us by @MrLovoArt So great to connect virtually & w/our friends at Latino Arts Inc. Gallery as we focus on the #SHoM #UnderstandingArtWorlds #usmfac Lucas Spielman #TAB #arteducation #creativity

Always impressed with these #bigidea concepts! This theme of #America is no different! Even during a pandemic amidst so many challenges these kiddos shine! #usmfac Lucas Spielman #TAB #arted #arteducation

Learning to be more expressive and spontaneous by painting with ink & letting go of some control. Can’t wait to see their bold use of color next class inspired by the fauves! ⁦Lucas Spielman⁩ #usmfac #arted #arteducation

Thank you Padlet for helping my Middle School artists see the value of documenting their artistic process! Here they can #reflect and #observe how far they've come! #developcraft #SHoM #TAB Lucas Spielman #usmfac #arteducation

Unleashing our inner beast! Inspired by the Fauvist painters Gr6 Ss take some risks with their landscapes using liquid watercolors! #usmfac Lucas Spielman #arted

These Gr8 artists continue to develop their craft as they explore individualized themes for our What’s the Big Idea elective! ⁦Lucas Spielman⁩ #usmfac #TAB #arted #arteducation

I am always so impressed with how quickly these kiddos can switch gears! We had to go from Fauvism to Optical art w/a change to all online learning this week. Excited to see their illusions! #usmfac Lucas Spielman #arteducation #arted

I am definitely missing these kiddos in the art room, but it was great to see them all at one time, in one place, working from home on their choice-based works of art! #TAB #usmfac Lucas Spielman #arted #arteducation

Loving the creativity of these gr7 artists as they explore self-portraits with their choice of materials! #TAB Lucas Spielman #usmfac #usmathome #arted #arteducation

What's your superhero pose? These kiddos are ready to embark on our Journey of a Hero project! I love the enthusiasm our 6th-grade artists bring to this unit every year! Lucas Spielman #usmfac #TAB #arteducation #arted

More amazing progress on these choice-based self-portraits via our virtual art room! Lucas Spielman #usmfac #TAB #arteducation

So happy to have my Ss back in the art room! Proud of the work they continued to do from home! Lucas Spielman #usmfac #TAB #arted #arteducation

Thanks for the shout out, Elaine Griffin!

First #legacybrick of #2020 is complete! These kiddos sure had a lot to endure this year! ⁦Lucas Spielman⁩ #usmfac #arted #arteducation

Working wonders with our liquid watercolors! Love how these Ss are developing their craft while exploring the traditional art of retablos! ⁦Lucas Spielman⁩ #usmfac #arted #arteducation

So proud of my Gr5 artists working from home! These beautiful in-progress watercolors are inspired by traditional folk art known as retablos. Each drawing tells the story of gratitude! Lucas Spielman #usmfac #arted #arteducation

Starting our lesson on pose/gesture drawing w/the #mannequinchallenge! These artists rocked it! ⁦Lucas Spielman⁩ #usmfac #arted #TAB

The tradition continues with our end of semester Oreo sculpting challenge in Gr7! Going to miss these kiddos, but excited to see some faces I haven’t seen since before the pandemic!!! ⁦Lucas Spielman⁩ #usmfac Art Edwards #arteducation
