“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.”
– Henry Ford
Today was the last middle school visual arts PD in SMCSD.
Building a community of learners takes time and dedication.
The visual arts program in SMCSD has built strong collaborators, reflective minds, and thoughtful educators.
Today the teachers were asked to reflect on 4 questions. Using watercolor paper and many different materials, teachers were asked to respond to the questions. The art work was then placed in an envelope that was addressed to the specific artist, and the envelope will be mailed at the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year.
Each teacher approached the reflection differently:
Some worked with paint.
Some responded with words.
Some stood to do their work.
Then everyone was asked to pull one word out from their reflection book that was then painted on paper.
These words will be added to the MLK studio word wall.
THANK YOU SMCSD teachers for all of your amazing work and support!
