Happy Spring!

All classes are contributing to water garden murals in the hallways of our school.  These paintings, paper constructions and sculpture are all inspired by the museum masterpieces of Claude Monet.  His beautiful water garden in Giverny, France is still there!  We are learning about aerial or bird's eye views, impressionism, color mixing, pond life and more!

Congratulations to Ella H. at BW and Ella O. at Scottsville for having art selected by the LCVA at Longwood University.  Their art will be in a one year "Highlights" statewide, student art show at the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts.  The show will end in 2018.

Our annual ACPS Visual Arts Festival in March was fabulous!!  Here are a few pictures of our displays at the mall.
