South American Masterpieces - Gr. 2-8


Northwest Talent Academy -
NWTA 2026

Grab your paintbrush and your passport, and let’s explore the beauty and wonders of South America! You’ll take a virtual tour of several countries, including Brazil, Peru, Argentina, and Colombia. There will be opportunities to learn unique facts about the people, culture, animal inhabitants, and their traditions. We will discover some new artists and use what we know about them to create new art pieces. You will have an opportunity to try many types of art, including: drawing a self-portrait, painting a toucan, building clay pots, and even making maracas or a rain stick. We will learn about “amate art” and create one of our own pieces. There will be many opportunities for using acrylic, colored pencils, water color, tissue paper, clay, and cardboard. Don't hesitate, come join me for a trip to one of the most beautiful places in the world where habitats flourish, and art becomes even more vibrant!

Marcy Beal


Hello! My name is Marcy Beal, and I am a 2nd grade teacher in Monticello. I have been teaching for 26 years and this is my fourth summer being a part of NWTA. I first received my teaching degree from the University of Minnesota, Mankato back in 1995 and acquired a Masters of Arts in Education from St. Mary's University as well. Upon graduation from college, I was a long-term Art teacher in Monticello, where I taught alongside my high school art mentor. I have taken several art courses in college and have always been drawn toward creative arts in my earlier years. *Fun fact: I have a cousin who is a well-known animator who lives out in California and is the Character Art Director for Sony Pictures Animation. Ever heard of "Miles Morales" in Spiderman? He was the animator who created him! We have the love of music and art in our family and enjoy sharing it with others.
