We're half-way through another fabulous first week at Delta Center Elementary and I am so glad to see the art room filled with life again from eager and creative students. I can already tell this is going to be a great year and I can't wait to get artwork up in the halls!
At the moment, students are spending time getting to know the room and its new additions (I like to switch it up sometimes), learning the new rules and routines (teacher: clap, clap "Mona, Mona!"; students: clap, clap "Lisa, Lisa!"), and warming up to the art making process by designing the covers of their sketchbook (a drawn treble clef and lacrosse stick combination...AMAZING)! Though the process is fairly clean for now, expect messes to show up VERY soon. Please remember to provide your student with an art shirt to help keep them clean!

A MIGHTY thank you to all that have donated supplies so far; keep them coming! We really appreciate the support and all the help allows not only for the making of art to run smoothly, but it also provides materials that we can look at in new ways and transform into new things (an excellent skill in any field; problem solving to the EXTREME!). If you're still interested in helping or just want to keep a list handy of things we may need through the year, check out our earlier post "It's Almost Time!".
