The halls of Dryden Elementary are like the walls of a mini art museum, filled with Lima bean monsters, spoofs of Rene Magritte’s “The Son of Man” and a massive tile mosaic of student artwork. Art teacher Tricia Fuglestad is making her mark on the Arlington Heights school — one wall at a time — but she’s also making one internationally with her forward-thinking use of technology in the art classroom. Fuglestad’s creative instructional movies and songs, her extensive and creative use of apps and computer art programs, and the construction of an online art community has morphed her students’ artwork and allows them to share it virtually with the world.
