My First Artistic Influence

For my graduate class I am finishing up my final project.
It is called a prezi, similar to a power point, but a little bit more exciting (I hope).
If you are interested, copy and past the following link:

This project is about my first artistic influence, who happens to be my aunt!

Saudi Arabia Map

This assignment was made for my grad class. We had to create something that had to do with our adolescent years. I actually picked pre-adolescent for mine. It was the time I lived overseas in Saudi Arabia. I chose to paint sandals, a soccer ball, and a camel in the frame. Then in the center I included a picture of our landrover from our desert camping trips. We also celebrated Thanksgiving in the desert! One of my fondest memories of my time in Arabia.

November News

October was Mill Pond's month for artwork to be hung on the Forbes building. I hope those students who had work up had a chance to see it on the third floor.
November is a shorter month, but a time for clay work at Armstrong. The Kindergarten, First, and third grades will all be working three-dimensionally with stoneware or model magic clays.
Stay tuned for photos of the kid's clay pinch pots, animals, and coil containers!

Arts in Common

Congratulations to all of our Armstrong and Mill Pond artists who had artwork hanging in the Arts in Common show! I hope you all had a chance to see the artwork, listen to the music and watch the performances on Saturday.

Open House

Open House for Armstrong Elementary is September 14, and September 28-30 for Mill Pond.
I will not be able to attend Armstrong's, yet there will be plenty of artwork hanging in the hallways for you to enjoy! I will be at Boston University for my art education grad school class that evening.
I will be attending Mill Pond's open house on September 29th, I hope to see you then.
We also have Arts in Common on October 2nd. There will be music, artwork for viewing and for sale. So come join the fun, located at the Baystate Commons in Westborough.

Welcome 2010-2011

Welcome back Westborough students!

School officially starts September 1st, 2010.

Open House for Armstrong Elementary is September 14th and Mill Pond is September 28th-30th. I hope to see you at one or both nights this fall. I can't wait to meet and talk about our art curriculum with parents and students on those evenings.

There will be more artwork to come once school is back in session.... See you soon!
