Welcome Back

It feels good to back, and we are ready for another great year in the art room.  We have a different schedule this year.  Art has changed from a 40 minute period to a full hour.  They still come once every 6 days in the rotation, but I've already noticed the difference the extra time makes.  The class feels less rushed, and as we get into making projects they will have more time to work.  I think it will be especially beneficial when we are doing 3-dimensional artwork.  This week, the students have been creating sketchbooks.  It is important for an artist to keep a sketchbook for practicing drawing, preparing for projects, and working on ideas.  If a student is interested in art, I would encourage them to keep a sketchbook at home as well.  It can be an excellent outlet for their creativity.
