OFF AND RUNNING!!!!!

So, here we go...
We have hit that art road running...
Some updates for your child and their art class....

FOR GRADES 2, 3 & 4 STUDENTS:

• EVERY CHILD MUST HAVE AN ART JOURNAL
• Each child should also have a set of markers, crayons, colored pencils, glue sticks, eraser & regular pencils.
• Please check back regularly to see any updated info regarding your child's class and supplies, if any, that are needed.

For grades 1 and 2 we are currently focusing on Jasper Johns and here is a great link you can use to help your child learn more about Jasper Johns and his artwork:

For those children focusing on cave art and Gottlieb here is an incredible link to the caves at Lascaux:

There have been quite a number of questions as far as where the artwork goes once the children complete it. Any artwork created here in school is going to be photographed and uploaded to this site first, then given to the teacher. Sometimes the teacher hangs them up, sometimes they are sent home immediately. Also, over the course of the school year, I collect artwork that is going to be hung up at our year end International Dinner Party that is held in our Gymnasium in June.

Remember, if you have any questions or anything you would like to share, please do not hesitate to email me at MSawicki@schools.nyc.gov

Thanks for all of your help and support!!!

WELCOME BACK EVERYONE!!!!!!

Hope everyone had a happy and healthy summer!
I look forward to an awesome new school year !
Keep an eye out for new posts about upcoming art shows and projects in your child's class.

Something new this year----we will be participating in an online, year round fundraiser, benefiting the art department, where you can purchase items with your child's artwork on it. More info on that to come.....

Hope everyone is well and I'll see you all around : )!
