#PhotoDad milestone achieved! For years I’ve seen excited Photo students roaming #KensingtonMarket, dreaming to bring my own to the market one day. Last week, that dream came true and I brought my Grade 12 Photography students to Kensington Market! @tdsb @TDSB_Arts @donmillsci

Couldn’t sleep last night, so I started to write. In my Photo class we are working on a project about using photography to speak truth to power. With this in mind in the middle of the night, I wrote this poem and shared it with my students.✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 @donmillsci @tdsb @TDSB_Arts

Brought the fam to check out the EDGE: Youth Art Show curated by @artsetobicoke at @YoungplaceTO! Some beautiful art from our @donmillsci CybertArts students, @nhsscyberarts, and others @tdsb artists! Shout out to Andrea and Martyn Simpson for their kids’ great work! @TDSB_Arts

I am so proud of my incredibly talented and dedicated colleague and wife, @LiveTeachARTS! Yesterday she was at @TDSB_WLM until nightfall rehearsing with her amazing Dance students for their big show TONIGHT! Our kiddo was blown away to see his mama and her dancers shine! ✨💃🎶

[Ian Lawrence @LearnMrLawrence]

Incredibly impressed by the scale of #KeithHaring’s work at @agotoronto! Paintings much bigger I had imagined, covering topics light and heavy, such as AIDS, homophobia, capitalism. @LiveTeachARTS and I loved it! Do yourself a favour and see this wonderful show! @KeithHaringFdn

[Ian Lawrence @LearnMrLawrence]

Totally BLOWN AWAY by the CyberARTS Grad Show at the @JCCC_Toronto! We’ve got some incredibly talented artists here at @donmillsci! The show goes until the end of the month and it’s FREE! Don’t miss it, people! @tdsb @TDSB_Arts

[Ian Lawrence @LearnMrLawrence]
