Art Schedule

We’ve had a lot of snow days over the past few weeks, but spring has sprung at the Top! I love using works from artist friends as teaching tools. For our nests, we looked at the gorgeous work of Eileen Casey. Last week we looked at Mike Beeman‘s birds. He is one of my favorite contemporary artists, as his work informs us on so many levels. He’s my go-to guy for Santas and birds, and showing students how each little mark comes together to create meaning on the page. Enjoy the artwork from last week, and scroll down for the schedules.
