An awesome first grader worked on this design for a few minutes each art class since the beginning of the year. Now that's determination!

Welcome Back!

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year at Gladwyne! I am so excited to have your child in my art class this year! We are going to do so many new and fun things.

Students will explore art through collage, painting, drawing, ceramics, printmaking, and much more. We will dive into the Elements and Principles of Art in order to become better critical thinkers and artists. Artists use the Elements and Principles in order to understand and talk about artwork. Throughout the year we will visit new regions and cultures to see how art is different across the world. Students will also learn to use art language on a daily basis with the help of our Word Wall.

The Word Wall is located along the back cabinets and will grow as the year goes on.


Here's a peek in the art room:


Please check back frequently since I post what we're doing and photos of hands at work. I'm looking forward to a great year! Please feel free to contact me at lairda@lmsd.org if you have any questions.


Sincerely,
Ms. Laird
