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!

Wrapping it Up!

Where has the time gone!!! As I pack boxes for the big move, art goes on... What's been on tap? Sketching our neighborhood and our school for grades 1-3... our powers of observation are sharpened and our drawing skills refined:

A fourth grade class helped with cleanup (art room style) before drawing and shading bonsai trees. 

Fifth graders are working on using the vanishing point to show perspective Renaissance style. A middle school challenge as we get ready to move on!

And most of our students had a chance to add their farewell messages and grafitti to our art room walls before demolition takes place this summer!
Thanks to those parents who were able to find the precious time to help out in the art room this school year! You made my life more sane and gave your children a wonderful gift!!!

Hoping everyone has a great summer filled with visually rich experiences!!!
