Movin’ right along. 🎶 This is the workspace of Noah A., grade 8, in applied art period 1. His patience and thoughtful attention to detail shine through in this image showing his planning and creation stages. ★ #ArtEd #OakPark97 #WeAreD97 #Brooksartd304 #BeBrooks97 #D97Art https://ift.tt/2E9w8fc

Just wanted to take a moment to celebrate this drawing from Marco L., grade 7. The detail got me. And despite the pencil in the pic, no pencil was used. Just 💯 confident marker. #ArtEd #BeBrooks97 #OakPark97 #WeAreD97 #sketch https://ift.tt/2MV7zrC

To kick of the year we’re creating #learningmascots - The main theme is “things I love” ❤️. This brainstorming list and set of characters were made by Preeti, gr. 6. #ArtEd #BeBrooks97 #OakPark97 #WeAreD97 #sketchnoting #learningmascot https://ift.tt/2MMCJ5G

8th grade applied art classes have been creating digital portraits using @Google Draw ✯ The process is demanding and requires patience, but the results are inspiring. This portrait is from Violet A., period 2. Her process combined her digital drawing with pieces of the original image. Can you spot them both? ✯ #ArtEd #OakPark97#BeBrooks97 #GoogleDraw #DigitalPortraits #D304 #GBMSart http://bit.ly/2W6qemh

That time Gavin G., grade 8, joked about how long it was taking to make his game, but ultimately knew it would pay off in the end. ✯ #ArtEd #OakPark97 #D97art #gbmsArt https://ift.tt/2FdQgOz

Sketchbook cover, Cate R., grade 8. ✯ There comes a time as an art educator when you have to make a judgement call to ease up on the, “fill the entire space” requirement, and just appreciate a beautiful design. ✯ This idea of differentiation and discretion has been a constant for me in my 17 years of teaching. It's what I love about art. You have to appreciate the grey areas. ✯ #gbmsart97 #arted #oakpark97 https://ift.tt/2FAqru2

Sometimes you stumble across neat little drawings on post-it notes. ✯ Gracie, grade 6 created this delicate bouquet. ✯ #arted #d304 #gbmsart #flowers #oakpark97 https://ift.tt/2yVBUxP

Case Space - with young artist, Aiden W. ✯ Head over to the D304 blog to check out my very first Case Space feature, with 8th grader Aiden W. (link in profile:) ✯ The Case Space segment features the pencil case of a student or teacher, and is accompanied with a short interview about its contents, so you can hear directly from the owner. ✯ #CaseSpace #ArtEd #gbmsart #D97Art #gbmsart97 #BeBrooks97 #pencilcase #pencilcases https://ift.tt/2y33Bo7

I'd like to announce the beginning of the D304 Case Space - A safe place to share your case. ✯ My recent purchase of a new pencil case gave me the strange idea to start featuring the cases of students and other teachers. These cases have a personality all their own, and I think they deserve some recognition. ✯ Each segment will feature the pencil case of a student or teacher, and will be accompanied with a short interview about its contents, so you can hear directly from the owner. ✯ #ArtEd #gbmsart #D97art #gbmsart97 #BeBrooks97 #pencilcase #pencilcases https://ift.tt/2NUAtKi

Wanna up your art game? Consider buying a pencil case to transport your writing materials to and from school. ✯ You don’t need to consider yourself a serious artist to carry one. Having dedicated art materials can change your attitude and help you feel more positive about your art making experiences. ✯ This is my newest case from @staedtlermars with a complete set of Staedtler Tradition pencils from 4H to 6B. ✯ Got a pencil case? Let me feature it here and on the blog. ✯ #ArtEd #gbmsart #D97art #gbmsart97 #BeBrooks97 #pencilcase #pencilcases https://ift.tt/2Iebhsi

I’d like to introduce you to Tony Cheddar. A #learningmascot created by Drew K., grade 8. Persistence paid off big time. Other versions were too complicated. But he stuck with it and the results are really fun. ✏︎ #ArtEd #D304 #gbmsart #d97art #oakpark97 https://ift.tt/2zmRLH2

At left, Nyla W., grade 7 is crushing it with her #learningmascot character development. At right, Mike S., grade 6, has nailed a really expressive dinosaur to use in his #sketchnotes throughout the year. #ArtEd #gbmsart #d97art https://ift.tt/2Nq8ty4
