Art @ NJEA

There are two days built into the school calendar for the New Jersey Teacher's Convention. (Nov. 10 & 11) It is often viewed as a vacation by students, but for me it's work.

For the past three years I have organized a statewide preK - 12th grade student art exhibit called Art @ NJEA. The event is sponsored by The Art Educators of New Jersey and is located right on the exhibition floor at the NJEA Convention. The show featured 75 pieces of work from 26 teachers in 10 of the 21 counties from around the state. All members of AENJ are eligible to enter student art!

Haddon Township High School was represented by four students this year: Caitlynne C, Emily D, Emily H and Ally D (TL - BR).

I'm so proud of my students!

Self-Portrait Color Studies

Here are a few of our 9 x 12 inch color studies. Each student cropped a section from his/her large drawing and used it as practice for all of the steps involved. This step allowed the students to feel more comfortable painting and approaching the assignment. I love them and am so pleased with how they are coming out so far...I think my students are too! A few are already working on their 18 x24 inch paintings! Click here to see more.
