After School Forensics
Artist in the School - Debbie Piper
In January we will welcome Debbie Piper as the artist for this year’s Artist in the Schools Residency. Students will create personalized collages from self-created textured papers, and the stories portrayed in each collage will be expressed in written form. This creative process called “painting with words” builds a sense of community and promotes pride and self-worth through the integration of art and writing. Our culminating activity will be sharing and celebrating these works of art with our family and community members. It’s an event to look forward to. Interested in helping during this residency? We would love to have you join us. Just contact Ann Love or Joy in the front office and they will fill you in on the details.
Mini Workshop FUN!!
