Stole this Art 1 lesson idea from Jenifer Smith last year, and several of my focused students have been making beautiful progress so far. #highschoolartteacher #collage #derekgores

This student’s last day was today, and I’m not handling it well. Four years later and it’s time for him to move on to his next chapter and do great things. #idrewhimapicture #sadbutproud

Some of these Art 1 Radial Designs turned out pretty amazing. Simple Contour line drawings with patterns. Some students were upset about drawing the same image four times, but the ones who followed through finally figured out why it was worth it.#artteacher #radialdesign

We are making four 6foot masks for a ROHS theater production, and we can use all the materials we can get. If anyone else has extra newspaper, masking tape, old bedsheets, and gallons of glue we could take off your hands, please let me know ASAP.

Not sure how I am going to actually meet all my commitments and deadlines for work, art club, and class over the next 2 weeks, but my student’s WIP is making me happy. 🤪🤷‍♀️🤯 #art #artstudent #artteacher #artteachersofinstagram #proud #tired #overwhelmed #help #notsleeping
