January 2007 Newsletter

Welcome back to all students! We hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday. This spring, students will continue their drawing journey as they explore China, Australia, and Japan. We will also begin a series of stories by Lawrence Anholt that will introduce students to Degas, van Gogh, da Vinci, Picasso and Monet. Older students will explore styles of these artists as well as the famous glass artist Chihuly. January will also include a clay project. See you at the studio for all the fun!
