✨🌀 “Idea Swap in Action! AP Artists are rotating, brainstorming, and mind mapping out each other’s BIG ideas. Collaboration = Creativity!” 🎨💡

In the studio, feedback isn’t just about art—it’s about growth. High school artists learn to give and receive critique with respect, resilience, and reflection… skills that translate far beyond the canvas. #ArtEd #LifelongLearning

Building classroom connections through art and geometry. Relationships matter and we are always better together!

Inspired by @AtomicHabitss stud’s set goal at start of each class & at clean-up reflect on progress, reassessing for next class. I had many renditions of this, didn’t give up, reflected, modified and adjusted. It’s def making a diff in engagement & quality!

This is a sad day for Philadelphia! I went to Tyler School of Art, but always had great respect for the traditional excellence that came out of PAFA! An annual tradition to see the MFA show will end this year for my artist community.
