Art Class in the 21st Century

Our classroom twitter feed can be seen here https://twitter.com/CES_ArtStudio. Look for updates about what's happening in our room, photos of student artwork and students' own ideas about what we've learned and accomplished.

140 characters is a bit limited to truly give an impression of the kind of work your kids are doing at CES, so this blog is meant as an opportunity to elaborate on what is happening in the CES art studio. Of course I believe every student who goes in and out of this room is capable of explaining what they did here, but I truly hope that "what" is built on a solid foundation of the "why". Everything we do is based around artists, artistic movements, art forms or cultural traditions from around the world, and CES students have shown themselves to be eager to learn about and make their own connections between these aspects of the art world.

Here I can provide links to additional information for children and families that wish to learn more about the subjects we touch on in class as well as images and descriptions of what our preschoolers, kindergartners and first graders have been making.

I'm new to blogging and twitter, so bear with me as I figure out the best way to bring information to you. Please feel free to send me any messages or requests about how to serve this goal better!
