Lafayette artists are learning about the power of the arts to transmit joy, transform sorrow, change minds, and heal hearts! In Lafayette’s art studio classroom we are not only learning about the elements, principles and media of the visual arts, but are using the arts to gain a greater understanding, depth and richness of language arts, math, science and social studies curricula. We are hoping learning in and through the arts at Lafayette nurtures lifelong learners and creators!

Inspiration in Paris

I experienced a real treat last week at the Musee D'Orsay... Van Gogh's other "Starry Night" and some late life Van Gogh faves of mine in person... there's nothing like the REAL DEAL!!! Hoping all my Lafayette students are able to get to at least one museum this summer to have that up close and personal interaction!
