Show and Tell from Home

I would love to hear from you about your art and what you're making. You can communicate with me through Artsonia or reach out through twitter @Fuglefun

I LOVE that you wanted to talk directly to me as you shared your art. I love your pigeon drawing and enjoy hearing your voice as you explain it.
You inspired me to do a little show and tell too.

Hi, I just discovered your blog and all your resources; amazing and inspiring work from you and your students. Giving me ideas for the future remote and possibly (fingers crossed by November) hybrid. Thanks from Brighton Park Elementary Chicago!

Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with remote learning in art. I need to make different approaches to delivering lessons while following health and safety guidelines with F2F classes on a cart too. Much appreciation for all your work.

Hi. Thanks for the wonderful website.
What app do you use to make the students' artwork move to collage?
(e.g. your rainbow fish collage.)
