WELCOME BACK!

The school year has just begun, but the students have already begun their first project of the year.  I have asked each 2nd -7th grade student to complete one of these sentence starters on a traced drawing of their hand and arm.... Art is, Art can, Art makes me, Without Art,  I am an artist because...They will fill in the remaining background space with their choice of patterns and designs.  Kindergarten and 1st grade traced their hand and arm and will fill them with color.  All of the hands are on display on the wall outside of the art room surrounding these words...Why Teach Art?
