SPRING PROJECTS AT CONGRESSIONAL & OYSTER-ADAMS

Thanks so much to Reuben for sharing these pictures from two of his Spring Art Brains classes! The top photos are from our "Holiday Animals" project at Oyster-Adams Bilingual School, and the bottom two show the "Ice Cream Time Machine" project at Congressional Schools of Virginia. Looking good, guys!!

Sounds pretty great.

EARLY SPRING AT CONGRESSIONAL SCHOOLS OF VA

Here's a note from Reuben, one of our aforementioned, rad Art Brains teachers this Spring:

The past couple of weeks at Congressional have been very exciting! Make/Believe students have been able to stretch their art brains around new concepts dealing with self-invented holidays and tree trunk histories. Both projects have pushed students to experiment with new media, including 3D modeling with clay and paint, and water-based relief prints. I have been blown away by the level of engagement and overall output the students continue to show me. 

Cool beans, dude. Thanks so much, Reuben!
