THE "ART"ICLE

Hello Amazing Art parents!

We had 6 students in 1st 3rd and 5th grade who had art selected to decorate the Austin Ed Fund Lunch last week, we are really proud of those creative geckos!

This month Kinder is mixing colors with paint, 1st is learning creative ways to use old supplies, and 2nd grade is leaning into landscapes!

3rd-5th grade are doing deep dives into materials exploration so they can begin their first choice-based project of the year, the theme will be Fairy Tales, and I can't wait to see how the students take the topic and turn it into their own artwork.

There are lots of art contests happening in the world right now, so check out the contest folder link below for all the details!
