Concurrent teaching is difficult under the best of circumstances, but it is very difficult to teach art without students being present. However, that did not stop the CCES art teacher who forged ahead to teach art to students in grades PreK-4. The art teacher came up with activities such as the one based on the book “Let’s Go Sledding,” where students drew pictures of themselves sledding and posted them online. Students celebrated Black History Month by researching an influential figure and then transforming them into a Pop Art inspired work of art. So that students learning remotely could participate, materials and supplies were delivered to home. Videos were created and put on flash drives so that students could follow the instruction on their devices without Internet. The teacher made sure that students were taught the art SOLs, but included cross-curricular instruction as well in subjects including English/language arts and history.
