Tim Needles blog for art & media art classes at Smithtown H.S. East
Welcome to Art Room 161
This blog was created as an extension of the dialogue that began in our classroom and the purpose is to share creative ideas, images, and critiscm. All posts should be appropriate for the high school classroom and critiscm should be helpful and positive.
Last week we learned a little bit about children's book author Maurice Sendak, author of and this week we will continue to look into what a career in illustration, cartooning, and children's books looks like with a look at Oliver Jeffers and others.
Here are some links about the artists and to more information about the events. We worked with Jon Burgerman here at the school on collaborative art project last April and he also talked to students about having a career in the arts.
He was not only a terrific artist but fun and funny so take a look at his doodling lesson above and a little more about his process below.
