Art Instruction in the Time of COVID-19

 The Elementary Art Department of my school had been slowly making their way into adding the world of digital/virtual instruction into our curriculum...and then COVID hit. We are now in the fast lane of developing these resources. I have been working hard at upping my game in Screencasting, video production and exploring ways to use the Google Suite. Here are a couple of videos. What do you think?

Catching up with my JH art students; here are some more recent projects they've completed. These samples include graphic design, haiku collage, mixed media collage, notan, reduction printmaking, and woven collage. This work was completed from 2013 to 2014.

My Student's Art- Kindergarten through 12th grade. This work was produced from 2007 through 2011.

As a K-12 art teacher, my creative batteries are charged and my preconceived notions are challenged by my students. I'm fairly structured in my lesson delivery because my goal is to make art accessible to all my students; from the highly inspired, to the completely uninspired. I'm always amazed and very proud of what my students create. Here are some examples of their work:

My Gallery Art

My gallery art pieces range in size from very small (several square inches), to fairly large (several square feet). Some of the pieces were done as original art for a specific venue such as for note cards, special occasion prints, or a collectible philatelic society stamp. Other pieces were done because I was inspired to do them. Here are some samples of my gallery art:
