Grant Applications

Day 1 of Grant applications has finally happened. We have started to send out funding requests to some large companies for the Art Travel Club 2013 trip. Cross your fingers!!

Art from everyday objects...

I used to really love this show as a kid.....

Never Play with your food...... unless it's for ART!

Where did everything go??

As the school year winds down the students are doing a great job working in class with limited supplies. We are starting to get ready for the big move to the new school and that means boxing things up. They are doing a great job studying theory instead of practical hands on projects. GREAT JOB GUYS!
