Happy Pride Month and Pride everything! -from this teacher #kidlitart #pridemonth #teachersky

A slightly morbid proverb of Jewish culture that we learn at a young age, is "It could always be worse!" Why worry about small problems when compared to our history of suffering, our problem is minor. Live in a crowded house? At least you don't have to live with goats... IYKYK #kidlit #kidlitart

If you are an art history obsessed person like me, or are curious about how to use it in your work, check out my series here! www.rebeccafieldgraphy.me/arthistory

What do you do when your brother gets in trouble, and your mama loves the drama, and its YOU that has to worry? #kidlit #kidlitart

My daughters are both home for the summer! Commence the shoe stealing! #kidlitart #kidlit

A beloved student was killed on Mother's Day...a senior, a week from graduation. As a 9th grader, he told me that he didn't think he would live very long. The safest place for my kids is school. And school is not very safe. Sending ❤️to the teacher parents. Love your students even when it is hard.

Happy Mothers Day, whether you mother your children, your students, grandchildren, fur babies, scaly critter babies, or plant babies, nurturing the future is what we do. #kidlitart #kidlit #mothersday

#7 Who knows the painting that I was inspired by? It's a celebration of boredom, a cool blue room...and a dog. #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitarthistory

Part 5: Art History for Illustrators: Andrew Wyeth with subtle color and limited pallets- light was so specific to him, that when I visited his studio, I felt like each window and object in his house was familiar already. And of course he loved his hound dogs! #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitarthistory

I am weary of queries. From my head to my toes I am racking up hundreds And all of them no's. There must be an agent, A partner for me, But I'm growing quite old here I'm a hundred and three! Rhyming is therapy. #kidlit #kitlitart

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day and happy May Day! This post reps the Pipe Knitters Union, who have kept our pipes from freezing all winter long. I am an illustrator and am open to representation! Let's strike up a partnership! #kidlit #kidlitart #mayday

Part 4: I had a serious William Blake phase...English majors often do. It was after the Sylvia Plath phase and before the beat poetry obsession. He was quite the weirdo...and his illustrations were definitely missing dogs. #kidlitart #kidlit #kidlitarthistory

#3 It is NOT COOL to love John Singer Sargent, but yet here we are. Ethereal and luminescent, JSS, master of light, impossibly creates space using flat blocks of color. This painting? The only thing it lacks is a dog. #kitlitart #kidlitarthistory

part 2- I taught AP Art History for 15 yrs. Each time I taught the Byzantine Empire, I promised myself that I would visit the mosaics at San Vitale. My tattoo alongside the queen- Visiting Theodora was breathtaking but I also noticed that she didn't have a dog. #kidlitart #kidlitart #arthistory

An art history series for kidlit artists! Anyone else a Ben Shahn fanatic? In his work, one line can be so expressive, that its tiny sliver of space narrates an entire story. This is my drawing of Liberation, 1947. What artists do you study to obsess over line quality? #kidlitart #kidlitarthistory

Once there was a bowl. Instead of soup, The bowl held the world. Made up of paper and glue, The world was fragile, But the bowl was strong. Together, they fed us all. #kidlitart #kidlit #handmadepaper #collage

It's scary out there...give each other some courage today! #kidlit #kidlitart

It's the "Second Seder Sillies!" #kidlit #kidlitart #jewishkidlit #jewsky

This took way longer to make than it should have- kind of like a Seder...or the wandering in the desert for 40 years part... #kidlitart #kidlit #passover2025 #jewishkidlit

It helps to remember that while all of us are facing an uncertain future and furious at our country, the chicks are still hatching...and friends are still rooting for you. #kidlitart #kidlit

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day and a reminder that dogs are a gift from the universe. I am a picture book artist working in collage and mixed media and also joy. #kidlit #kidlitart

Hi #kidlitcommunity and happy #kidlitartpostcard day! After spending three months designing and crafting for my Etsy shop, it's no surprise that CRAFT TIME makes it's way to my latest illustration! How does your art reflect your personal experiences? www.farnaznadim.com #illustration #art

There's about to be a rumble... #kidlit #kidlitart

Happy Spring Break to my fellow teachers (and also the kids, I guess)!! Sleep well, oh tired ones... #edusky #kidlitart #kidlit

This is teaching. Year 23 has been dark. I teach art in a failing, funding starved, segregated, broken school. We don't worry about book banning: we have a library with empty shelves. in my city, schools are waiting rooms for prisons. Trying to brave the storm. #kidlitart #edusky

The world is waking up #kidlitart #kidlit

I wrote this essay several years ago about school choice but damn it's even more relevant now. And as an update, the crumbling wall in my school was fixed. Kuddos to my school board member... rebeccaberlinfield.medium.com/the-most-imp... #edusky #usdoe

New selfie for the website! #kidlitart #kidlit

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! March (actually, the Hebrew month of Adar), and happy almost Purim! I am an illustrator looking for representation and I support anyone who wants to dress like a queen. #kidlitart #kidlit Rebeccafieldgraphy.me

Support our national park friends by posting your nature illustrations! See a park, post a park! #kidlit #kidlitart #altnationalparks

In one of my art classes, I am teaching drypoint etching on vinyl LPs- decided to use my example print to redo an old illustration and love the outcome! #kidlitart #kidlit #edusky #artedusky

See a hug, post a hug! Seeking peace. #kidlitart #kidlit

I teach at a HS with metal detectors at the doors.There is a head start for 1-2 year-olds and several of my students have kids that attend. Yesterday I witnessed one of my students being searched by security as her daughter watched. The image of that tiny girl will never fade. #kidlitart #kidlit

Question for the is there a separate feed just for #kidlitart where artists post their work? I'm missing the beautiful work on "the gram" and do not see others posting much on the #kidlit mega feed.
