News from the Art Room
It’s the end of the first nine weeks and students are
excited to begin sharing the artworks they have created in art class. Although
the actual works of art are being collected in student portfolios until the end
of the year, there are several ways parents can enjoy and share the artworks
all year! The first way is through Artsonia, our online gallery
and digital portfolio. Artsonia allows families to share artworks online, leave
comments for the artist, become fan club members, and even purchase products
printed with the artwork all year long. It is a fantastic resource and the
students are learning to use our class iPads to photograph and edit their art,
as well as create artists statements, all online. We are beginning uploads this
week as students select their favorite piece from the first nine weeks, and all
should be available online in the next few weeks.
Another great way to stay up to date with our art learning
is through the art class Instagram and Twitter
pages. Instagram is my current favorite social media - so quick and easy and really shows a lot of the great things we do daily. I post pics here almost daily, as I enjoy reflecting on the day in the evening while posting. Mrs. Knight’s students also get updates through Class Dojo
using the Class Story feature – an Instagram-like feed of pics and updates. All
student portfolios will go home with the students by the year’s end after all
art shows and special displays are complete for the year – we love showing off
our accomplishments!
Here are all the links you need, and thank you for your
