East Leyden Spring Art Show

The Leyden Art Shows are some of my favorite events of the year!   I get to see how the Hester Alumni are growing in their art practice.  This year, my first class of students from Hester are now seniors, and I have many former students in the AP Studio Art class making me proud!  In addition to the seniors, Hester alumni are well represented in every art class and won several ribbons at this year's art show.  As a middle school art teacher, I am also allowed to submit some work of my 7th and 8th graders to be represented in the show alongside the high school work.

I am so PROUD of ALL of my artists!

IAEA Conference 2017

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!
