Happy Friday! Since yesterday was #July4th, we thought sharing some #dazzling images from Dwight Rich School of the Arts would be fun! These pieces were inspired by the #artistic process of @dalechihuly & his #paintthrowing technique. We hope you all have a fun & safe weekend!

As we enter the weekend, we're highlighting the exceptional work of West Clayton Elementary's staff. They implemented the "Elements of #Art & Principles of #Design" by using multi-colored construction paper, scissors, and glue to recreate familiar scenes from classic #fairytales.

HAPPY #FRIDAY! Did you miss us?

With relation to their school wide concept of #transformation, @artsk12 was tasked with creating copper panels using the #repoussé technique. We think this Masterwork Experience was a major success & we hope you all enjoy these beautiful examples!

Happy Friday! #UnidosMiddleSchool's staff looked at opportunities to use artistic processes like #Suminagashi to connect with their Concept of Relationships. It's a great way to explore different concepts like #Relationships, #Transformation, #CauseAndEffect, #Process, & #Change.

Happy #Friday! We're looking at how #educators at West Clayton Elementary School used #GridDrawing to recreate #ElizabethCatlett’s #WarWorker. This #strategy develops the eye through #observation & rewards the participant with the end product of a beautiful #portrait or #picture.

Attended @AFIFest's Closing Night of @MAESTROfilm_, a captivating film on @LennyBernstein's life. Bradley Cooper directs & stars alongside Carey Mulligan. Hosted by @Netflix at @ChineseTheaters, with Jamie Bernstein providing insightful context. A night of cinematic brilliance!

Based on the #Concept of #Relationships, #Unidos educators thought about people who changed their viewpoints on something. They used #natural materials to create the #shapes & #lines that represented their special person by putting them in a picture frame with UV-sensitive paper.

We had an amazing time with #WestClaytonElementarySchool during their Level 1 training with #ArtfulLearning! Although it's only the beginning, we can already tell that this is a special group of #educators & we can't wait to see what the future has in store for them. Take a look!

Today, we’re looking at some stunning #glass creations that #UnidosMiddleSchool’s educators created last month. #ArtfulLearning sourced out a variety of #shapes, #colors, & #textures from @bullseyeglassco & each educator made methodical selections to shine on their piece. Enjoy!

We’re looking at some photos from #OttomonElementary’s #ArtfulLearning "Re-Fresh” training last month. We had 2 great #trainers demonstrating #Arts-Based Skills & #Strategies to Ottomon’s veteran #teachers—in addition to new faces we met for the 1st time. Here are some snapshots!

[Artful Learning @artfullearning]

The #ArtfulLearning team & #UnidosMiddleSchool staff engaged in a Masterwork Experience based on @GordonHuether's iconic #BarrelRing pieces by creating their own #prototype using #Twisteez Wire. Educators explained how their work represented their identities & visions of Unidos.

[Artful Learning @artfullearning]

We're still reeling over our week with #UnidosMiddleSchool in #Napa, California! On Monday, #ArtfulLearning & Unidos staff enjoyed spending time with world-renowned artist @GordonHuether. The team enjoyed learning about his different #creations & #ArtisticProcesses. More to come!

@artsk12’s educators had a wonderful time experiencing #Acrylic #PourPainting as a #Concept Exploration of #Relationships. Pour painting is an innovative way to use a combo of acrylic paints & oil to create an art piece. Each had 3 #colors to represent their unique relationships.

Our final #Masterwork Experience at @crystalbridges was extraordinary because it involved the museum's stunning architecture by #MosheSafdie. Inspired by his conceptual #sketch, @artsk12 teachers employed #QuickDraw to capture the intent & elements of such a monumental #creation.

[Artful Learning @artfullearning]

@crystalbridges has some spectacular #mobiles displayed throughout their space–including #AlexanderCalder’s "Trois noirs sur un rouge” & “Mobile (#5).” Based on #Calder's strategic use of #color, @artsk12's teachers designed simple, balanced mobiles using steel rods & cardstock.

[Artful Learning @artfullearning]

We’re reeling from our packed day of @artsk12's #ProfessionalLearning at @crystalbridges. Teachers were tasked with building #sculptures using #Twisteez wire inspired by #Chihuly, #Asawa, #Butterfield, & #Bourgeois works. Each piece’s use of colors and shapes is simply exquisite!
