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!

These amazing structures are crafted out of more than
70 different plant materials!

Thank you to Ms. Perll who discovered this gem of an exhibit
and shared these photos with me!

Third graders take note as we get ready to explore the wonderful architecture of Washington D.C.!!!
