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.

Virtual Teaching

Every educator has been through an upheaval over the past year. Through every new phase of the pandemic, hybrid, virtual, and in-person, we have been trying our best to reach our students. There are some days we are more successful at this than others. One of my proudest lessons of the past year would have to be based on one of my favorite books, A Poem as BIG as New York City, edited by the Teachers & Writers Collaborative, Illustrated by Masha D'Yans.

My school has been open through the pandemic to serve our students in a congregate care setting. As the cases are rising once again, I wanted to remind myself of the good work that has come out of this year. Please take a look at my favorite lesson of the pandemic!
