3rd gr is thinking about inspiration this week- how to find, grow, & share! This artist made a poster to inspire others to be kind friends! #TABchat #ArtEd

Sometimes, it’s more challenging to see the art on the screen than in real life - but the IDEAS are coming through loud and clear. It’s Super Flu Fighter!!! The hero we all need. #TABchat #ArtEd

Here’s a little inspiration to start your week- Don’t Give Up! Thanks to 3rd grade artist R. for the reminder. #TABchat #ArtEd

"Putting "choice" into the context of what artists do, think of a choice as a decision: Artists make decisions about what they want to know more about - and which media and skills will best serve their needs. 1/5

This looks like so much fun!

Hanging out during our open Art Meet time this afternoon with my new student teacher and one awesome 3rd grader. We played drawing games & practiced drawing his sloth Dash! #TABchat #ArtEd

This beautiful mixed media collage was such a lovely way to start a Monday. It's not always easy to share our art right now, but I so appreciate when students do. Thanks, R!

Virtual art class can have unexpected benefits - sound on for some joy this morning! #tabart #arted #guineapig

“This is really our THIRD first day of school.” - 1st grader. Our choice based studio is different this year, but so many wonderful drawings and origami creations today!

Our RLA students are still making art at their homes - which is great because they have time and space to build these AMAZING tiny art museums. #TABchat #arted

2nd and 3rd graders have had the option to explore paper sculpture ideas - I give them a few tips to get started and then we let our imaginations run wild! #TABchat #ArtEd

4th and 5th graders have LOVED learning / refreshing their Kumihimo skills this week! New yarn distribution system is great. There are baggies of yarn in our Little Free Art Supply ireDCSD for you to use at home!
