End of the School Year...
We have finally finished the school year. I hope that each of you have found something valuable in this class and taken it with you (I don't mean things like my stapler and I only say it now after school is out so you can't actually take something from my classroom). While that 180 days we spent together seemed more like 380 days at times - in retrospect it went quickly. I enjoyed the year.

This year's art project is definitely one of the best. Thanks for your time and effort. I took pictures of ALL of the art and posted it below. Have a great summer.

History Through Art WebQuest
Here we are. Two weeks left of school and the only thing that we have left to do is the History Through Art WebQuest. Use this link to access the WebQuest in the lab or at home.

When you are creating your art piece, take some time to enjoy the process of actually being artistic. I know for some of you it will be difficult, but just do your best and have fun.
