Accessible Art Virtually

I have been spending quite a bit of time lately thinking about how students can access enriching art education without all the materials we have in the classroom. The search lead me to art games, digital drawing, and many other things. I wanted to share a new video I recently made to share a fun program I found with my students. The simplicity of the program along with the almost guaranteed fun outcome really sold it for me. The drawing program was posted on the website Rectangle World. They host all sorts of code tutorials and experiments. Feel free to take a look at their other projects as well.

Boston Higashi School

My dream job! Years before moving to Massachusetts, I learned about this amazing program for students with Autism. I looked at their website, and thought well I will never live in Boston so I am never going to work there. Much to my surprise, I ended up moving with my partner to Mass! And I was even more surprised to see that they had an art teacher position open. I knew that this was my dream, combining art and special education. And even more specifically working with students on the spectrum. I feel so lucky to be working with amazing students everyday, and so lucky that I get to work at an amazing school.

Graduation Days!

Our two lovely graduation days came and went! I couldn’t have done it without all these lovely ladies.
