@SantoroArtEdu @TCDSB Beautiful work!

✨🌀 “Idea Swap in Action! AP Artists are rotating, brainstorming, and mind mapping out each other’s BIG ideas. Collaboration = Creativity!” 🎨💡

In the studio, feedback isn’t just about art—it’s about growth. High school artists learn to give and receive critique with respect, resilience, and reflection… skills that translate far beyond the canvas. #ArtEd #LifelongLearning

Building classroom connections through art and geometry. Relationships matter and we are always better together!

Inspired by @AtomicHabitss stud’s set goal at start of each class & at clean-up reflect on progress, reassessing for next class. I had many renditions of this, didn’t give up, reflected, modified and adjusted. It’s def making a diff in engagement & quality!

📢 I’m back! 🎉 Still on IG to keep students & families informed @ crsouthartstudio, but now with a new focus—sharing my instructional practices & reflections. Excited to inspire, learn, and grow with fellow innovative educators & leaders! Let’s collaborate! 🚀

The people have spoken… Tune into instagram @crsouthartstudio for all that’s happening in the CR South Art Department!

Gigi is so engaged that by the time class is over she could very well be mistaken for a coal miner! Keep up the amazing work Gigi!

Guidance counselor and macrame enthusiast Ms. Bradley shared her craft with NAHS and Art forum. Look out for these beautiful designs for sale at the art show! Big thanks to Ms. Bradley!!!

This is a sad day for Philadelphia! I went to Tyler School of Art, but always had great respect for the traditional excellence that came out of PAFA! An annual tradition to see the MFA show will end this year for my artist community.

Course selection is quickly approaching! Check out the display by the art room to find out which art class is the right fit for you! Questions? Come chat with Mr. C or Mrs. Thomas! We hope to see you in the art room next year 😊

Stop by the Holiday Pop Up Craft during lunches all this week before break! Clay and wooden ornaments and hand printed cards 🎄🕎 🎅 ❄️ ⛄️

Students in Drawing & Painting 1 were inspired by Käthe Kollwitz and her ability to express the issues of society through art. Students created their own print using the relief techniques showcasing a current issue they are passionate about!

This week in the CR South art studio!
