This 8th grader could draw curly hair SO well! This is a self-portrait he did for his high school portfolio. He hadn’t drawn like this in a long time and he just banged this out. Totally surprised himself (but not me). I knew he had it in him. #msartclass #middleschoolart #arteducation #artteacher

One of the quietest, most introspective students I’ve ever had. Big time book reader and great at illustrating. And just so gifted. I wonder what these demons are that have come out to haunt. #msartclass #middleschoolart #iteachart #artteacher #arteducation

This student has a special place in heart always. We share a fondness for 4-legged fluff monsters. This was a collage she created for her portfolio using fabric, paint, and misc. bits. #msartclass #middleschoolart #iteachart #artteacher

Some former middle school student portraits and self-portraits. These kids were an awesome bunch. They were prepping portfolios to get into a specialized high school program for the Arts. #msartclass #middleschoolart #iteachart #drawing
