I've just finished applying for PAINTS grants to hopefully have local artists come in and work with each of my new classes (a brand new crop of 90+ students); stay tuned for more info.
ALSO our ArtsSmarts grant to build an ART LAB in conjunction with the the visual arts 11 class, Kennedy's Oceans class c-block + 15 grade eleven and twelve students that have been prepped as a skills-leadership team is ready to roll shortly. App. 75 students will be involved with this massive art installation. Ms. Perry is planning our 2nd semester schedule with the ArtsSmarts artist, Melissa Marr, this weekend. A schedule for workshop days will be posted here...
