Ready for an awesome art year?!? 

2015-2016 here we come!

Now that everyone  has had some summer adventures and time to relax it is time to get back to work getting creative in the art room at CSDA.
This summer, I was lucky enough to bring my daughter Lilly into the world which has given me a new life perspective as a mom and as an artist.  Having a newborn to hang out with all summer has helped me find enjoyment to being in the moment and watching a small human grow right before my eyes. This experience brought me to thinking about the simple questions in art: What is creativity? What makes me feel creative? What is art? Why do we make art?
These questions are what have started conversations in the art room this year with the focus on having students thinking about taking creative risks this year and not just always drawing what comes easiest to them.

 Here is where the creative magic happens! Nice and clean at the moment but once the kiddos get painting it will look very different...

New addition to the room! 

This coming week we will be celebrating international dot day at CSDA- so stay tuned!
