Upper school technical drawing lessons...

We're doing some value studies and blind contour continuous line drawings of our hands.

Kindergarten Ecoprints!

Well, we played around a little... different plants, arranged on the pre-treated paper.  With a little rusty vinegar spray and a little heat, these gorgeous prints emerged!  No two are alike.  Students will be bringing these home next week. 

Welcome Back!

It is another wonderful year at C. W. Henry School!  This year we also welcome Luke Desmone to the art classroom as our Artist Year fellow.  He brings a world of fine art expertise, and will be leading wheel throwing instruction as well as assisting with art lessons throughout the year.  We also are adding an auction event for collaborative artwork made in grades k-5, details to come.

Note: All upper school students will need a sketchbook this year, sizes 8x10 - 9x12.  Spiral bound preferred.

As always - thank you families and community for all you do to support our arts program!  Stay tuned for pictures of our great work!

Sincerely,
Amanda Johnson Caucci
