Still amazing me on our last day of the semester! Definitely going to miss my crew of Gr8 artists & their creative spirits! Enjoy a few our our famous finger- paintings!!! @LifeAtUSM #usmfac #arted #arteducation – at Mequon, WI
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
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
First #legacybrick of #2020 is complete! These kiddos sure had a lot to endure this year! @LifeAtUSM #usmfac #arted #arteducation
Thanks for the shout out, @ekgriffin!
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
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
More amazing progress on these choice-based self-portraits via our virtual art room! @LifeAtUSM #usmfac #TAB #arteducation
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
Loving the creativity of these gr7 artists as they explore self-portraits with their choice of materials! #TAB @LifeAtUSM #usmfac #usmathome #arted #arteducation
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
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
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
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
Learning to be more expressive and spontaneous by painting with ink & letting go of some control. Can’t wait to see their bold use of color next class inspired by the fauves! @LifeAtUSM #usmfac #arted #arteducation
Always impressed with these #bigidea concepts! This theme of #America is no different! Even during a pandemic amidst so many challenges these kiddos shine! #usmfac @LifeAtUSM #TAB #arted #arteducation – at Menomonee Falls, WI
Learning about the beautiful folk art of Retablos taught to us by @MrLovoArt So great to connect virtually & w/our friends at Latino Arts Inc. Gallery as we focus on the #SHoM #UnderstandingArtWorlds #usmfac @LifeAtUSM #TAB #arteducation #creativity
Gathering visual references for our fauvist landscape paintings while enjoying the crisp fall air! @LifeAtUSM #usmfac #arted #arteducation
