September Art Students of the Month!

We have been busy making lots of art this month, but I've been so involved I've forgotten to take  pictures!  I promise to keep you more updated this month with our work, but you can always check out student work on Artsonia. 

September Art Students of the Month: 
6th Grade: Robert Amoin
7th Grade: Trilce Cisneros
8th Grade: Ashley Castanon

Robert brings an enthusiasm that is unmatched by most!  He has thoughtful ideas and also works hard on his projects.  Robert also loves to talk Minecraft during work time and has lots of ideas to add to his artwork.  He enjoys reading the feedback on his art work and makes sure to have a thoughtful conversation to follow up. 



Trilce takes time to think through her ideas thoroughly.  The clock is her biggest challenge as she likes to make all of her details perfect and sometimes that slows her down.  Trilce is always willing to stop her work and help a friend in need.  She works to maintain the art studio and cleans up well.  



Ashley is a quiet artist.  She uses classroom resources to help her through each project and makes sure to make thoughtful choices in her artwork.  She likes to add a lot of detail in her work and doesn't take shortcuts, but instead makes her work how she wants it.  Ashley takes good care of our studio environment and makes sure to take good care of all our supplies.  





Congratulations artists!  Keep up the great work!

One of my favorite times of year is the annual Illinois Art Education Association fall conference because I get to teach and learn with hundreds of art teachers from around the state.  This year I presented two workshops: Recyclables to Magnificent Papier Mache Sculptures and Involving Students in the Assessment Process.  Both sessions went great and had a positive response from the participants. In the papier mache workshop I explained to teachers how I approach teaching papier mache at Hester and then let teachers dive right in to create their own sculptures.  Here are a few photos from that session: After lunch I attended a session from an amazing teacher, Michelle Lynn from Downers Grove South High School (who is one of the teachers I student taught with) on using blogs and tumblr to share, critique and assess student artwork. Then I presented a session on involving students in the assessment process.  This s...

I am lucky enough to have wonderful students at Hester who love to go above and beyond the call of duty.  I co-sponsor yearbook club with Ms. Ryan and we have a wonderful committed group this year that is working on creating a FABULOUS yearbook.  As our official yearbook photographer, Sebastian Portillo spent two games before winter break capturing these action-packed shots of the Hester Boys Basketball Team and I couldn't wait for the yearbook release to share these photos.  Check it out!  Thanks Sebastian for your awesome hard work!
