@ThankYouX Such a beautiful collaboration! I can't wait to share this with my Middle School artists to show them the power of working together. You both are so inspiring!

The tradition continues with our end of semester Oreo sculpting challenge in Gr7! Going to miss these kiddos, but excited to see some faces I haven’t seen since before the pandemic!!! ⁦@LifeAtUSM⁩ #usmfac @arted #arteducation

Starting our lesson on pose/gesture drawing w/the #mannequinchallenge! These artists rocked it! ⁦@LifeAtUSM⁩ #usmfac #arted #TAB

So proud of my Gr5 artists working from home! These beautiful in-progress watercolors are inspired by traditional folk art known as retablos. Each drawing tells the story of gratitude! @LifeAtUSM #usmfac #arted #arteducation

[Sarah Markwald @smarkwald]

Working wonders with our liquid watercolors! Love how these Ss are developing their craft while exploring the traditional art of retablos! ⁦@LifeAtUSM⁩ #usmfac #arted #arteducation

If you missed our 5th graders' gallery exhibit, you have a chance to see their beautiful kites assembled in this artistic display by Mrs. Markwald. We are so proud of how they have honored their loved ones and heroes with this rich, cultural project. @USMMiddleSchool

[Sarah Markwald @smarkwald]

So happy to have my Ss back in the art room! Proud of the work they continued to do from home! @LifeAtUSM #usmfac #TAB #arted #arteducation

[Sarah Markwald @smarkwald]

More amazing progress on these choice-based self-portraits via our virtual art room! @LifeAtUSM #usmfac #TAB #arteducation

[Sarah Markwald @smarkwald]

What's your superhero pose? These kiddos are ready to embark on our Journey of a Hero project! I love the enthusiasm our 6th-grade artists bring to this unit every year! @LifeAtUSM #usmfac #TAB #arteducation #arted

[Sarah Markwald @smarkwald]

Loving the creativity of these gr7 artists as they explore self-portraits with their choice of materials! #TAB @LifeAtUSM #usmfac #usmathome #arted #arteducation

[Sarah Markwald @smarkwald]

I am definitely missing these kiddos in the art room, but it was great to see them all at one time, in one place, working from home on their choice-based works of art! #TAB #usmfac @LifeAtUSM #arted #arteducation

[Sarah Markwald @smarkwald]

I am always so impressed with how quickly these kiddos can switch gears! We had to go from Fauvism to Optical art w/a change to all online learning this week. Excited to see their illusions! #usmfac @LifeAtUSM #arteducation #arted

[Sarah Markwald @smarkwald]

These Gr8 artists continue to develop their craft as they explore individualized themes for our What’s the Big Idea elective! ⁦@LifeAtUSM⁩ #usmfac #TAB #arted #arteducation

[Sarah Markwald @smarkwald]

Unleashing our inner beast! Inspired by the Fauvist painters Gr6 Ss take some risks with their landscapes using liquid watercolors! #usmfac @LifeAtUSM #arted

Thank you @padlet for helping my Middle School artists see the value of documenting their artistic process! Here they can #reflect and #observe how far they've come! #developcraft #SHoM #TAB @LifeAtUSM #usmfac #arteducation
