First Week of School


The first week of school has been very busy. It's been great seeing everyone. I can't believe how much the children grow over the summer.... Everyone has been very excited this week. Art class this week basically consists of getting seats, getting to know each other (new students to Livingston) going over rules and grading and then a short drawing project. We will get going with projects next week. PTO is doing the Square 1 fundraiser again. They plan on doing it early in the year so things could be ordered for Christmas. We will be doing the artwork for this in class.

The children drew things that made them smile over the summer... I just had to share this one....

Getting Ready.....

Greetings,
I hope you have had a WONDERFUL summer! I've been out to school a few days getting things ready for the upcoming school year. I'm excited about going back! I thought it might be fun to try an art blog this year. I thought it would be a great way to share what is going on in the art room. I have plans to update it often ..... we'll see how that goes once it gets busy..... I'll try!!!
The students at Livingston do beautiful artwork. I think it would be really nice to share it. I try to display it in the halls at school, but not everyone gets a chance to see it there. Enjoy your last few days of summer vacation..... see you soon!
