Art Awards!

Our students had lots of wonderful opportunities to show off their achievements in the visual arts this year.  Our latest honors go to Lucy Maxwell and Kate Sherwood.  Lucy's art was selected from the Annual Youth Art Exhibit at Longwood Center for the Visual Arts to represent our school next term in the Highlights exhibit at Longwood University.  Kate's response to a survey about art and leadership was published in the Spring 2015 VAEA.org newsletter. VAEA Spring 2015 Newsletter

            Have a safe and creative summer!

Students at SES show off art award certificates for participation in area art shows.

Weaving & Yarn Designs. Weaving shows the beginning of binary code and computers!

Some students choose to create a yarn design inspired by Mexican Art instead of weaving.

After learning how to weave in class, some students went on to independently create their own loom and woven art.

Finished cloth!  What can we use it for?

Wow!  A really big yarn design showing good craftsmanship.
