New Year..New Project

Welcome to the start of... BEAUTIFUL SCRIBBLE

An art education blog for educators & anyone who appreciates all things beautiful.
{One Art Teacher +150 High School artists= The school year

Quick Intro:
This is my 5th year teaching Graphic Design & Digital Photography for a NJ public High School.
Throughout my years of research I've had much success locating websites and teacher blogs sharing ideas for educators. At the same time I found a disconnect between the Graphic world and its instruction in the ART classroom.
This blog will show sample student work, idea & the How-to-methods I find helpful while teaching....
Here's a visual overview of what happens inside My ART room.. Stay tuned
