Welcome to Art at GLOBE!

Dear Families,

Welcome to Art at GLOBE! I am so excited to be here at GLOBE for our second year and look forward to seeing many new and familiar faces on our first day!

This year, all students will have Art for 55 minutes, once a week. I am incredibly passionate about teaching art in a way that honors each child's experiences and curiosities, so art projects will primarily be open-ended and focused on process. This will be a great year of exploring materials, learning about a variety of artists and art forms, and using art to enhance and contribute to our community at GLOBE!

New Studio

I am so pleased to tell you that this year, we will have an art studio located in the former kitchen (in the back of the cafeteria)! The space has undergone a wonderful transformation with the help of many parent volunteers, and we will continue to make it a child-centered environment by adding the students' creations as the year progresses.

Blog

Please follow my blog at artatglobe.blogspot.com (formerly msgillsartclass.blogspot.com) for more information on projects, important dates, and photos of student art! There will also be a volunteer sign-up portal and wish list updates, so make sure to check often!

Supplies and Wish List

Thanks to our implementation grant, our Art program will soon have a wealth of materials and resources. However, I have included a list of items that we can always use more of:

·         Hand sanitizer

·         Paper towels

·         Clorox wipes
