Art Room "Instagram!"

Artists are always looking for ideas for their artwork, and sharing ideas too! This year, I have created a new way for our student artists to share their ideas. It will be an elementary art room "Instagram". The "Instagram" board - online and off - will remind our student artists to keep being creative even on days with no art class. Creativity can be used and developed at any time, and artistic skills can be practiced and perfected at home!!!

 
Here is our "Instagram board" - the first part of our Art Room "Instagram". This board is located next to my classroom. Students can bring in artwork they have made outside of school to be posted here.
It will be labeled, and displayed until I get new work! Thank you to the artists who have already shared!
I will take pictures of these shared artworks, and post them on our Instagram site online. Here is the link to the class site:

Please follow this site to support your student artists' creativity in and out of school, as well as to see more of what we are looking at and talking about in class!

Please note: I have set this site as Private, so in order to follow it you must request to follow and I must approve it. I will only approve students and their families, and school staff.
