ART UPDATE
The following is a listing of some of the art projects that all classes have been working on this year in art class. All classes meet once a week for 30-45 minutes depending on grade level. In addition to those projects listed, all students participated in the Fine Arts Association Greeting Card fundraiser, regardless if purchased. Also, students have the opportunity for free art expression at various times throughout the school year consisting of string art, free draw, origami, and use of other mixed media supplies. I continue to be amazed by the talent the students display. It is a pleasure working with them.
