New here! Posts as @ShepardArtAPS on another account. Looking forward to reconnecting with other educators and knowledge-seeking humans here. #EduSky #ITeachArt

Today we had 40 students from National Art Honor Society and FBLA joining forces to create arts activity kits for 60 children at CHOA (Children’s Healthcare Of Atlanta). These kids are alright. ❤️☯️🎨 #edusky #ITeachArt

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

Teacher example finished: Coil vessel built, carved and burnished. Ready for bisque firing and then a class-wide Ceramics Saggar Firing. Hoping this one doesn’t explode like last year’s example. May the kiln gods be in my favor… #ITeachArt #edusky #handbuilt

Hello Art Education and/or Art Teacher friends. I've assembled a starter pack for us. Feel free to tag/send me a message if you're living out there in arted land and would like to be included. #ArtEducation #ArtEd #ArtTeacher #ArtEducator #ITeachArt

Student journal prompt: create altered page art & illustrate the new story. Pages are pulled from damaged books doomed to be destroyed. One teacher’s trash is another’s treasure. #artmatters #edusky #ITeachArt

Exploring Encaustics in AP Art Studios: embedding image transfers, creating impasto layers & using sgraffito techniques for mark-making; connecting ideas to our AP Sustained Investigations. These kids are rocking it. #ITeachArt #artmatters

Saggar pit fired works are out! Now to clean, dry and wax. #Edusky #ITeachArt #apsarts

Oh, thank you, SCAD!! Today was a GREAT day of learning and experimenting for the AP Art & Design Portfolios. SCAD ❤️s Educators!! #EduSky #ITeachArt

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

My student won 1st place in the APS Superintendent’s Winter Card Competition, and was gifted a sweet swag bag full of art supplies! Her design gives me a warm & fuzzy “Goodnight Moon” winter vibe… what do you think? #ITeachArt

Ceramics coil vessel saggar pit firing is underway, despite a rainy day in the ATL. Our seniors rebuilt the pit for a CASS project & to accommodate the growth of our ceramic arts program. Leaving a legacy is the best! 🤞🏻Fingers crossed for beautiful results. Teamwork! #EduSky #ITeachArt #apsarts

We’re making maracas as the last project of the calendar year in Ceramics 1. My finished teacher example is an Egyptian Scarab Beetle 🪲 with my name on the back. What should I make this time? #ITeachArt
