New Year, New Art!

Wow!  We are six weeks into school and you probably think we aren't making any art!  Quite the contrary!  We have been busy at every level, using a variety of media, learning about many different styles of art and artists!  Mrs. Self and I have been stepping up to the challenge of implementing social media into our classrooms with tech savvy ways of communicating like Instagram and Remind101.  If you don't know what these are, ask your kids and they will tell you.  We are diving head first into their world and so should you!

Follow us on Instagram @EdisonArt which strictly showcases the art of the Edison students (our seventh and eighth graders.)  It is a great way to snap their work in progress, allow them to build eachother up and get feedback from these great young people!

Below I am posting a plethora of pictures of some of our latest creations and will definitely get into individual tabs this week and spotlight what each class is doing!  Until then, happy Monday and happy creating! It is sure to be a great school year both in and out of the classroom... more on that later though--what until you see what our after school art clubs are planning!
