All Arongen students are finishing up their Original Works art this week. Boy are they beautiful. Look for your childs art and information in January! The 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders all made lovely paintings inspired by Romero Britto, while the 1st and 2nd graders created drawings of their own choice! I hope you all enjoy!!!!

Also newly added to the Art Fun for the Family page, is the Russel Sage, Willy Wonka Performance Schedule. Check it out for some fun theater experiences!

October is here!

October is here! September went by too fast. Our first month in the art room has been very productive. All of the students have been given special Art Room Jobs, and are working in teams this year!
This week in the art room we are taking a break from our projects and our jobs to complete our Art SLO's (Student Learning Objectives). Currently students are taking the pre-assessments, these assessments take one class period to complete, and all classes will have taken them by Thursday!
Then it will be back to learning about and producing Art!!!

The New School Year...

It's the start of the new school year! I am very excited to be back. I have missed all of my students. I look forward to creating exciting projects and teaching as well as learning about the world of art! I have many exciting things planned for this year. Please keep checking back to learn about the wonderful things going on in the Arongen Art Room!
