Newsletter - Week of Dec 18, 2017

Another amazing month of great art. We have been trying all kinds of new things in the art room. I have been really pushing the students to step outside of their comfort zones and have been pleasantly surprised at the amazing art they have been creating. It has been hard and students have been frustrated but I am hoping that they find their art work satisfying in the end.

Phones have still been a frequent distraction, after the holidays I will be implementing a no-phone policy in the art room. This does mean that students will not be able to listen to their own music and will have to use the Chromebooks to search any images they may need. I do love the ease and convenience of having phones in the classroom, but too many students have been watching movies, tv shows, and playing video games that I think for the last few weeks of class we need to crack down.

Here is this months newsletter. Please enjoy and have a Happy Winter Break!
