Our latest YAM Participation Post comes from Kelly Wenz. Kelly is an art teacher at Emerson Middle School in Union City, NJ, and volunteers as AENJ's Hudson County YAM Chair.
Kelly writes, "Middle School art students in Union City have been challenged to respond to daily prompts in the medium of their choice to create a virtual QuarantART collection. Students submit drafts, and revisions are made via Google Classroom exchanges and zoom conferences. We have also teamed up with Ms. Jessica Katz of the Paterson School District so that AP English students can contribute writing to pair up with the artwork submissions. With many students working hard to finish their creations, we are also now extending the invitation for staff to participate as well."
