Marla, Marla, Marla...

I would love to share one of my very favourite websites with you. I visit this site every week or so, and I am always inspired by the creative projects that Marla and her students come up with. Marla McLean is an atelierista at the Reggio-inspired Peabody School in Washington DC. Her skill as an art teacher shines through in her students' work, and she is a wonderful story teller and photographer. I have been feeling disheartened at the overall lack of quality visual arts programs that exist (or don't exist) in most public schools today. Visiting Marla's blog reminds me that there are exceptional art teachers out there, fighting the good fight. Thanks Marla!! xo
