WE HAVE AN AWARD-WINNING GALLERY!
It’s official, we have an award-winning art gallery on Artsonia!
Our Artsonia Galley won an Award! Dryden was one of 15 galleries nominated by art teachers across the country that they found the most inspiring. I started a moment on twitter where teachers have shared how our students’ art has inspired their students to explore new projects and techniques.
Check it out here.

Thank you so much for all those that contributed to my PD project to attend the NAEA conference to share our Dryden art program ideas with art teachers across the country. Here is my blog about the things I learned and shared on my trip to Boston

DonorsChoose.org project to obtain 3Doodlers for the art room was fully funded too! Thank you for your support. Here is a post about our trial use of these 3Doodlers:
Tactile Illustrations with 3Doodlers
I’m going to plan a full-scale lesson for next year.
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS MEMORIAL LIBRARY ART SHOW
Congratulations to the 125 students with art on display at the reception and throughout the month at the AHML district-wide art show. We had 60 pieces of 2-D art on two display boards many of which were Transdigital (experienced physically and digitally). I really enjoyed seeing all the students scanning the QR codes at the reception to explore the digital aspects of the artwork. We also had movies looping on iPads, Fugleflicks during the reception, a UV painted cityscape on display with a black light flashlight, and the 5th-grade collaborative value paintings.
