Visiting Artist Joe Wardwell at the Curley

While teaching art at the Curley K-8 School in Jamaica Plain, Boston, Massachusetts, I organized a visiting artist unit for my first grade students. Joe Wardwell is a painter and painting professor at Brandeis University, and was able to visit my classes and talk to them about being an artist and about his artistic practice. He brought in original paintings for students to look at up close, and materials related to his process so that the kids could try it out themselves, such as letter stencils. The students really enjoyed his visit. Thank you, Joe!
