For parents, teachers, and anyone who wants to know what's going on in the art room at James Weldon Johnson middle school.
By exercising their creative imaginations and artistic abilities, children are capable of absolutely anything! I am hitting the ground running this school year with explosive ideas for art projects to fuel the students with confidence, self-love, and empowerment through the creations they will be making. One of my new favorite quotes, picked up from the fabulously helpful, supportive and inspiring county art supervisor, Tony Sznakowski:
"The quality of civilization can be measured through its music,drama, architecture, visual art, and literature. We must give our children knowledge and understanding of civilizations most profound works." -Ernest L. Boyer
It's all about the ARTS!!!!!
