2010-2011

Welcome back or welcome to St. Joe's! We have a big year ahead of us. One that promises to be filled with much paint, pen, pencil, sculpture and all-around filth. I will be updating this site regularly with photos and descriptions of what we are up to in Art class, so please check in.

The beginning of the year starts with the most basic element of art - the line. In all grades, we will be working on creating portfolio covers for our portfolios. The portfolios will remain in my classroom throughout the year and will not go home until the Art show in May. All artwork will go home at that time. Particularly in the younger grades, I will occasionally send work home that is more seasonal or I just cannot manage the space to store in my room. Portfolios are kept so that I can accurately grade the development and improvement of all my gifted student artists. You are ALWAYS welcome to drop in to look at the artwork or just to chat.

I look forward to seeing all of you this year!
