Welcome to

Hi there!
Thank you for visiting the virtual art room.
I am excited about working with your kids. Let's start with a bang!
The Square 1 Art Fundraiser.
Kids love this program. They love the free stickers (last year it was a magnet) and they love getting a mug, or a tee shirt, or a tote bag with their artwork on it.
Parents love it for the keepsakes, the great gift ideas, and the opportunity to support the school because.......
this fundraiser allows us to purchase thing for the art room and/or the school that are special, different, and beyond the normal scope of school supplies.
Last year we raised enough funds to buy mouse pads for the library with all of the 8th graders Square 1 art work proudly displayed on them.
We also bought tie dye, real tie dye. Every 7th and 8th grader went home with at least one tie dyed tee shirt, and we had some left over for several mini courses with younger kids.
This year I am hoping to purchase a really great digital camera for the art room. With this camera I can better document your child's work and further explore and expand the technology aspects of art making with your children.
In early November your child will be bringing home a packet from Square 1 Art. Please take a moment to look it over and thank you in advance for any participation you choose to have in the Square 1 Art program.
I am looking forward to a wonderful and creative year with your children.
If you have and questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to contact me via e-mail or by just calling the school.
Please let me know if your child has any favorite art "thing" that they love to do, and I will try to incorporate it into my curriculum. I am always open to new ideas or suggestions.
Lastly, I would love parent helpers in my room. If you want to come with your child's class that's great, or if you want to just help any time that's great to. I would especially appreciate help on Tuesday afternoons with the 8th grade art project. This is usually a large, almost all year long, project. In the past it has been a mural, but this year I am hoping to go 3D.
No special skills required except time and love of kids.
I hope to hear from you, and
thanks for stopping by
