@downtownmontessori_art on Instagram and using #DMAartchallenge
Art educator Jenny Urbanek has created a daily art challenge post on Instagram for her K-8 students at Downtown Montessori Academy. Urbanek has found an online platform that easily engages her students, allows for many interpretations of a broad concept or idea, and serves as an example for other teachers to engage with their own students. As Jenny says, “Never has there been a better time to sink deep into creativity. The next few weeks provide an opportunity to spend time making, creating, and learning (especially about art).”

- Bri Sayeg: Guests Posts on the La Escuela Fratney Art Room blog
https://lafratneyart.blogspot.com/
Bri Sayeg, a pre-service teacher participant in the Innovative Educators Institute and UWM Art Education major, is a student art teacher at La Escuela Fratney this semester. Here she posts her first project to the La Escuela Fratney blog for Earth Day, April 22, 2020. “Sharing Your Essential Knowledge” uses drawing and writing to teach other people about something you are interested in and know a lot about. Her project was inspired by Milwaukee-based artist Colin Matthes, who was a Lynden artist-in-residence at Fratney in 2018. During his time there, he had students share their curiosity, experiences, and interests through narratives using drawing and text using dip pens, brushes, and ink. Check out this link for some examples of the project: https://colinmatthes.com/total-essential-knowledge
