We are starting the PTSA Reflections Art Compeition in all visual arts classes. 
Please start thinking about the following statement as it is this years theme: "Heores Around Me." What characteristic make a hero? Who are the heroes in your life? Who are the heroes that help us in our community? We will be brainstorming as a class and working on our preliminary sketches this week. 
​

I am so excited to get the year started off!
I have attached the syllabus and sketchbook order form for class. I will also be sending home a printed copy to share with your family. 
I have been spending the summer running and creating art. I hope that all of you enjoyed your summer and were able to participate in things that you love. See you on Tuesday at Meet and Greet.
