Welcome Back to Art and the 2009-10 school year! Students need the following materials with them each day in Art class: their Visual Diary (made the first week of class), two pencils, an eraser, two glue sticks, and two black thin Sharpie markers. Mothers and Others: The art room is always in need of magazines, plastic containers, old yarn, and aprons/smocks. Thanks! Reminder to Students and Parents: As your child exits art, please ask them about their artworks. It is never the intent of the art department at Spring Wood to keep student artwork. Students own their artwork and have every right to have them and cherish them. Often work is kept for display, and given back at a later date; if your child does not receive their artwork back immediately during or following the term they have art, please encourage them to see me for their beautiful artwork! Ceramic pieces are fired at varying times to fit into the kiln, so often time elapses from the time a student has art, to the time they finally receive their ceramic pieces back. Students should ask about their clay pieces if they don't receive them. After School Art: Thursday from 3:00 - 4:15 PM is a time allotted for after school Art. This is a time for students who have work to complete to do so, in addition to receiving teacher help. Students should tell the teacher in advance if they plan to stay for after school Art. Students can take the 4:15 bus home if needed. Ms. Coburn Art Department Spring Wood Middle School
