Dear Parents,
I am looking forward to a fantastic 2008-2009 School Year teaching your child to enjoy, appreciate, and create art. Efforts will be made to correlate art lessons with the academic core curriculum. We will look at and talk about major works/styles of art, as well as create our own masterpieces using the elements and principles of design. We will study various artists, art styles and cultures from around the world.
