Wrapped up #NationalPoetryMonth by painting illustrations of our favorite poems. An exercise in bringing imagery within text to life! Many thanks to @RooseveltLLC for curating such a wide range of poetry books in our school library!

Congratulations to the amazing artists in River Forest District 90 and #WSCAE! We thank the families who support these students’ creativity and the volunteers that make this wonderful annual event @CheneyMansion happen. We celebrate the arts today and every day!

Before and After. We're having a lot of fun over here!

Pre-assessment sculptures: what can you make that is hollow, has a minimum of three different textures, and a unique form?

Quarter 3 eighth grade artists add their mark to our hallway mural. A visually delightful parting gift from the graduating class of 2023!

Learning how screen printing quickly creates multiple editions of an artwork. Students individually design a symbol to represent themselves and collaboratively create a classroom print to remember each other.

A tactile exercise in teamwork!

District 90 students encourage and uplift each other! Writing "fan letters" to our peers promotes a collaborative community.

Middle school students still love picture book read alouds! #ICantDraw by @Stephen_W_M was a huge hit and great reminder to put your own personality in your artwork. A great find from the @RooseveltLLC book fair. 💕#D90Learns #D90Art

Sidewalk art to encourage our community to show appreciation, wonder, and care for our Earth today and every day!

Celebrating the start of the fourth and final quarter with a great new group of students! Looking forward to seeing the art they produce. #D90Learns

Mindful of avoiding the sharing and comparing pitfalls of post-Spring Break conversations, the art room celebrated a belated April Fools Day and instead shared our most memorable prank stories. #D90Learns #Banksy

Same student, one week later. There is ✨MAGIC✨ happening in this classroom! And by magic I mean patience, perseverance, and positive self-talk. These rock star students are committed to the process, in awe of their own growth, and so fun to teach. 💕

“This is fun!” After a year of pandemic life it’s no surprise wedging clay (slamming it into a table to remove air bubbles) proved to be cathartic. 😂 Stay tuned to see how these ceramic paint palettes turn out! #D90Learns #ArtsEd
