Happy Parent Teacher Conference Morning!

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES!

Happy Friday – Parent Teacher Conference – Morning!

I had such a wonderful time meeting with all the parents and students who came out last night to talk about, explain, and share the opportunities and growth that the visual arts classes have offered. I am really looking forward to more of that this morning. We will be in the gymnasium until 10 so come on down to visit and talk about the artwork, progress, opportunities, future that your budding artist is working through… and we can talk grades too.

Next Week:

Art Foundations: Microbiology – Microscopic Images and 2 Point Perspective – Up To The LARGE PAPER and Oil Pastels!

Drawing: Wassily Kandinski 2014 – What are you bringing to the theory of color and math?

AP Studio Art: One more week with your NEW concentration works – then FIGURE STUDIES!

All late work – let’s get that done! See me, call me, email me with any questions or concerns.
