It's hard to believe we have been in school for 3 weeks already! Our students have been very busy getting familiar with the art room and we have been busy transitioning them to the 7th grade and getting to know them better! Our first art units produced fabulous artwork which incorported basic elements of art using basic materials. Our next unit is much more diverse and will use materials that are more technical. Please, Please remeber to turn in an Art materials Donation letter by September 4th so that we can continue to provide engaging art curruculum!
