Students did a fabulous job drawing sneakers in their sketchbooks! Each student selected a video tutorial to follow along with then they were encouraged to add color!
Artwork by Artist Romero Britto Romero Britto is a current Brazilian Artist who has a BIG heart and has many things in common with the Keith Haring. Like Haring, Britto is an activist. When hurricane Katrina devastated many he made art work with a message of hope and happiness through his bright bold colored shapes and images Britto has helped many communities by making generous donations from his sold artworks.

The artist who inspired our work, pictured above, was Keith Haring. Haring was an activist and an artist who had a tremendous impact and legacy. His art was inspired by graffiti, pop art, and hip-hop. He loved the breakdancing scene in New York, during the 80's; thus came his famous 'Action Figure' drawings! Here are works of art from fourth and fifth grade, remote learners. As well as, artworks from Mrs. Snyder's fourth grade class. Do you love Haring's work of art? Do want to create more work inspired by Haring: Try these activities!

When we have art at home we create in our own space. For this assignment students were asked what items they wear, to stay warm and dry, when they play in the snow. After they created a list they then were ask to draw a "Winter Self Portrait". This project was inspired by an art teacher, whom I like to follow for her diverse lessons, ART WITH MRS. BROWN!

Meet Mrs. Smith
Hi, I am so happy you are here! My name is Jillette Smith and my journey as an art educator has taken me on an incredible ride. I began teaching in a rural school district located in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. I taught in this district nearly 8 years. Recently, I began teaching art at a larger district near central PA; Williamsport Area School District, home of the Millionaires! I am very proud to be a Millionaire but miss my Bloomsburg Panthers dearly! I teach grades four, five, and six while serving roughly 500 students. Aside, from teaching; I am very passionate about professional development and sharing/collaborating with other art educators. I spend lots of time as a volunteer on the board of PA's chapter of NAEA (National Art Education Association). As the Regional Representative for PAEA, I help support art teachers in our local school districts by providing them with Act 48 accredited opportunities that pertain to them as artists and art educators, advocate for arts education in PA schools. I love serving on this board because of their strong contribution and dedication for art advocacy and quality arts education in schools for every student. The network of peers is invaluable to me and has shaped who I am as an art educator! To learn more about PAEA you can check out the website here! Archives
