welcome to the new school year 2011-12

For new parents to our school the art department participates in the artsonia online web gallery. So please fill out the artsonia permission slip and return by Sept 6.

On this blog site yo will be able to access the art deptartment calendar of event just click the desired class. I try to keep it updated as to what students are learning or working on in general. For grades K-3 classes create projects as a group. For students 4 -8  the class is more of a studio art aproach. They have a flexible time frame to work on a project, as they reasonably need. So, some students may be ahead and others may be a little behind the calendar schedule.
