A virtual Side x Side drawing program for second graders at Ocean Avenue Elementary School recently wrapped up. Led by teaching artist Pamela Moulton, the program was integrated with a unit on building community, facilitating conversations about diversity, and highlighting how much we all have in common. Moulton met with students during Zoom classes and created five whimsical video tutorials centered around drawing that teach students that art is everywhere! Featuring Pamela and her “creative spirit” Posey, the tutorials are titled, “What is your favorite read to self place?” “What is your favorite meal?” “What is your favorite place to play?” “Who lives with you?” and “My self portrait.” Each tutorial exposes students to a wide variety of art and teaches a drawing lesson. During classroom Zoom sessions with Pamela, students shared beautiful drawings they created in response to each video tutorial.
