A big thank you to everyone who came out for Open House last night. Parents took the opportunity to answer one of our essential questions, which is what you see above.
Project News
- Personal timelines will be assessed on Tuesday, August 25th. Your timeline should be nonrepresentational, demonstrate craft consciousness, have appropriate use of media, be complex and introspective. Whew!
- If you're confused about craft consciousness, just think about creating (practicing) your artwork with skill and awareness. For example, avoid smudges, tears, folds and other minor disasters that may detract from the overall quality of your work.

Peace with no limits
Tranquility is found here
A green zen garden
--Miguel
small white waves lapping
dryly at rocky shores a
tide of ground down land
--Candace
beauty crosses a
japanese zen garden that is
majestically peace
--Julie
dripping on the moss
the rain patters on slowly
cloudy wet and cool
the rain patters on slowly
cloudy wet and cool
--Kiersten
The wind blows fiercely,
Leaves dancing around my feet,
Lightning cracks the sky.
--Jaycob
waters splash on the rocks
creating serenity for all
making us peaceful
--Cassandra
Beautiful garden
Let's one have relaxation
From the harsh real life
--Lettie
The cherry blossoms
flow through the garden leaving
peacefulness behind
--Melissa
