This Mâbius strip of a companion kept close while mom recovered from a nasty stomach flu. Feeling much better now, and at least we have a little spring break left to enjoy. ☺️

Springtime means investigation of nature. Gr 3 artists are looking deeply to study and draw collected shells, stones, and bones. Observing those details and shadows are key. #scientificillustration #elementaryart @campbellaps.bsky.social @campbellturtles.bsky.social @apsva.us

Gr 3 artists explored how different book illustrators created monsters and imaginary creatures, and imagined their own. Artists created marker prints, and wrote a short origin story about their creatures. #artandwriting #printmaking #elementaryart @apsva.us @campbellaps.bsky.social

One of the things I find most inspirational in creating art is engaging with kids on how they perceive it. This is my little nephew & me in the National Gallery. He made a beeline for this Picasso! His excitement is how I approach drawing as you can see in this thread of my art!
