Art Contests

Junior Duck Stamp Program http://www.calwaterfowl.org/duck_stamp/index.htm#new2003

  I receive A LOT of information about various art contests that you can participate in outside of school.   I have created a new link menu titled "Art Contests".  If you are interested in entering one of the contests, you will need to read the information and get your parent's permission to enter.  You will need to use your own supplies and your parents will have to mail in your entry.   I would love to hear from you if you choose to enter one of the contests!  Maybe you could be featured on this blog!

Watch us S.O.A.R.!

Students have been learning how to "S.O.A.R" in the art room and working on a mural that shows them soaring in all sorts of creative ways.  Look for the finished mural to be hung in the artroom windows sometime next week! 

I want to see YOU soaring!!!!!!

Outstanding Learners

I am excited to see everyone back in the Art Room.  I hope you had a great summer!  Please check back for updates as you might discover YOUR art work on one of my postings!!  Remember to scroll down on the right and check out some of the interactive art sites that you can play at home. 

Don't forget when your art day is so that you can wear clothes that are appropriate...we tend to get a little messy in here!
