What's Coming Up in TCDS ART!

Welcome to a busy new year in the Art Studio! You will begin to see process photos and some finished work this week on our current projects. With fresh project designs and limitless student creativity, Mrs. Paradis and Mrs. Phelps are looking forward to a beautiful year. Before photos, here are some behind-the-scenes things we want you to be aware of:

First, we're preparing a presentation for you for Curriculum Night, August 31 and September 1. It will be about standards and what kids can expect to learn, and hopefully answer the question "What do they DO in that Art Room anyway? Please join us at 5PM, 5:30PM or 6PM to get an up close look at everything from prep through project in the Art Studio.

Second, we are helping students prepare information for you for Conferences, so your students can lead you through a comprehensive picture of their school accomplishments.

Third, we are participating in a school-wide, organized program of cross-curricular project design, so that teachers can strengthen core academic classes by adding art components. This is a work in progress that will be happening throughout the year.

Finally, we are just beginning to talk as a Specialist Team about the Go Live Special Event at the end of the year. It's a school community event to showcase every student's accomplishments in Art, Music, Sports, Tech, Spanish and some of our exciting Clubs. It will be held on May 7th this year, so plan ahead!
