Had an amazing time working with our middle schoolers and learning about Chicago muralists. Each student create unique and personal artworks that they envisioned as large murals aimed to uplift and inspire. #berkeleyd87

I had an amazing time last weekend displaying work at the beverly art walk alongside graffiti artists, drum circles, and the thug (the healing you give) hippie bus.

Students explored texture this week by creating their own creatures using actual or implied texture. I love how unique and different student's #TABart turns out! #textureart @SunnysideD87 #1d1t1m
