RES Artists

Our first few days back! 💛 We shared stories of our summer, celebrated Taytos return, made mini-masterpieces to put up on display & learned to put the wheels back on my art cart. 😅🛒🥔🖼️🌞 Looking forward to this new school year together. 💚

This account has been dormant for the past couple of years as I navigated a lot of changes and learned how to adapt to being an art educator without a classroom, and at times, without much supplies. ✏️

In this time I have moved from an art room to a makeshift space, to a mobile cart and beyond. 🚀

I graduated from my masters program, with a MA in Art Education and conducted a research study on transitioning to teaching art from a cart. 👩🏻‍🎓🛒

We put on our first ever Tiny Art Show (which was a huge success and an incredible night). 🖼️

I worked with the Fitchburg Art Museum to teach an afterschool program and a Saturday studio project where we got to make a student public art installation downtown. ❤️

🥔 We got an art-cart mascot named Tayto, which sparked a school-wide obsession over a squishy potato with an adorable face.

I recently got married, turning me from “Miss Penny” to “Mrs. McGee”. 💍

And with the start of the 2024-2025 school year fast approaching, I wanted to bring this account back to life in hopes of sharing more of the amazing work our kids create, and to foster a bigger appreciation and celebration for their creative education. 🌈🎨

Stay tuned for another year of learning how to maneuver the art-cart life & sharing BIG admiration over the incredible things our children make through their imagination and heART. 💚💛

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer break! 🌞 I was signed out of this account and missed posting some of our last week adventures… I will update soon!

Here was a special morning paint class for a few students who earned extra art. 🌈🖼

Sending warm summer wishes to all of our RES community! 💚💛

This first grader carried his giant drawing around to every person in the room saying, “look at what I made, I am an artist! Just look at my art!” 💚

Some of our Kinder artists happy to celebrate their work as artists 🥰
