Back into the swing of things this year! High school working with mix media to get familiar with the materials again!

Students and parents!! We are having to majorly rework the yearbook for this year and I’m wanting to do a spread on learning from home. If you’d like to help, take pictures of your student doing work and email them to me and I will put them in the book! [email protected]

Kids and parents!! If you would like some fun drawing videos to practice drawing shapes and proportions, search Art for Kids on YouTube! The videos are so fun and kids love them!!

NEN Elementary had some lively professional development today! Our training session led by Mrs. Henggeler on coding was top notch. The spheros brought it all to life! #NENPride @NEN4thgrade @Sphero #coding

Christmas cards made by our Kindergarten and Preschool ready to go to a local nursing home! Spreading a little cheer! 🎁 🎄

This is what creativity is about! We ALL have it. Quit telling yourself that you aren't creative...You're getting in your own way. Being creative and being able to draw are two totally different things!

We are talking about texture and movement in 8th grade. Look at this beautiful paper texture by Tessa Privett!! 😍

Yes, it’s true! People think being creative just happens in my room! SO FAR FROM THE TRUTH! Scientists must use their creativity to solve problems in their labs! Having the guts to have a new idea can be hard! Doubt is part of that process!

This is what happens when you open the kiln before the clay is room temp (they were only -slightly- warm). Crazy popping sounds in my room all day! It creates tiny hairline cracks in the glaze. Barely visible. Kinda cool!

[Katie Jenkins @NENartists]

We are made to feel that we are not creative as we age. The reality is that we are ALL creative. It’s the basis for what makes us human! We take basic things and ideas and solve problems and create new things to make our live better!

NEN Color Run success!!

[Katie Jenkins @NENartists]

Sometimes I question my sanity with painting with 15 fresh preschoolers, all by myself! BUT...we all survived!! Apple print pumpkins on the way!!

First fire of the year!! HS art made their own paint palettes for the year!

[Katie Jenkins @NENartists]

Fresh off the truck YEARBOOKS!!! If you ordered, they will go home next week!! 😍🙌🏻😱💖

This year, we are focusing on creativity. What makes us creative, and understanding the creativity in all of us. The most successful people in life, no matter what their career is, aren’t afraid of using their creativity. It takes courage to have new ideas.

I have all these photos I’ve taken and have been terrible about posting! Flood with artwork, post #1.
