12/2 This week in art!

Hello Artists,

This week in art we will be starting our winter projects. Please check your specific grade lesson for more details on your art lesson for the week. I sent home sketchbooks to all grades at the supply pick-up on Monday. These can be used for art lessons that do not require paint and you can also use these as an art journal. For extra art this week check out the art journal prompts below.

-Draw your favorite part of fall break.

-Draw what the trees outside of your home look like today.

-Design a winter sweater for a pet.

-Design a winter sweater for yourself.

Have a great week!

💜
