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!

Celebrating the Importance of Art in Our Lives

This month we have been celebrating creativity, both in ourselves and in our environment. 
This past cycle grades 1-3 went on an in-school field trip to visit, interact with and look more closely at some of the new art installations in our building. We drew and wrote how the artist was creative, how the art made us feel, what questions we would like to ask the artist, and more...


And on September 15, Lafayette students demonstrated their creativity, kindness, and the courage to make our mark through our Dot Day celebration. 
Here are a few moments captured on the day itself:
