Updates to the Art Room....
It's a great start to a new semester with Koinonia Art! The art room received a makeover during Christmas break and everyone has enjoyed the changes! Fresh paint, decluttering, organizing and cleaning have made a big difference....probably the biggest change has been the addition of the ArtHouse. The ArtHouse is a 2-story clubhouse within the art room that's designed as a quiet refuge for art related reading, games and drawing. Elementary students have enjoyed spending time there during the last few minutes of class after having completed their assignments for the day. Even older students are slowly taking an interest...I even get in there myself to do homework with my son or just to do a little reading....
I've included a few snapshots of the ArtHouse at the end of this post.....even more shots of the revamped room are coming soon!
Extra News
2 new art classes have opened up for 2nd Semester
....a new Doodlebugs class on Tuesdays from 10am-11am, and a Painting and Drawing class on Thursdays from 11am-12pm! Please help spread the word if your looking for an art class during these times.
A "Booth Museum Fieldtrip" is being planned for all
Painting and Drawing Students in the Spring in Cartersville, GA.
This trip is designed to give students an opportunity to sketch live, on site, in an art museum environment while learning about painting techniques, brushwork and composition development. The sketches will be converted to paintings back in the art room, using the techniques we learn about. I'll have more details soon about the exact date and cost and other art related details. If you're an art parent, and have an interest in attending and/or helping with transportation, please contact me at jillwilliams1@gmail.com.
As always, it's a pleasure to work with your children! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be involved in your child's creative development.
