"Every child is an artist. The problem is
how to remain an artist once he grows up."
-Pablo Picasso
Dear Memorial Spaulding Families,
Welcome back to school! I am thrilled to be back at Memorial Spaulding for my seventh year to teach your lovely children! I look forward to a great year of discovery as we learn about artists and art from around the world, an array of creative endeavors including drawing, painting, building and collage. It is my goal to work together with your child to make art class an experience where s/he will learn and grow in a thoughtful, inquisitive and joyful way. We create in lots of different ways in the art room, allowing for your child to find their voice in the arts, while also learning skill sets with different media, and being a 21st century learner.
Here are the expectations and goals that I have for all the children at Memorial Spaulding in art class: In the art room we have one rule or guideline: respect. We learn about how to respect each other as artists and how to respect ourselves as artists. We learn about respecting the artistic process, as well as respecting our materials and using them in a safe way, and respecting and taking care of our beautiful art studio. We also learn about how to live out the system-wide core value of Respect for Human Differences through learning about different art styles and artists as well as learning from each other. It is my expectation that students will be able to use the time we share to its full potential and in a productive way!
As a reminder- please do not send your child to school on his or her art day in special clothes- making art can sometimes be messy!
I also want to share with you that I am expecting my own little artist! I am pregnant and due in mid to late December and I will be back in the spring, after my maternity leave.
On another note, if you are interested in helping hang artwork or have any questions, please stop by room 232 or email me at: Alexandra_Etscovitz@newton.k12.ma.us
The art room could also use the following donations if possible:
Baby Wipes (these are amazing for cleaning the art room and hands!)
Paper Towels
Kleenex
Hand held mirrors for self-portraits
Purell
Colored Sharpies
Clorox Wipes
***Please check the Memorial Spaulding Art Website for a glimpse of what kind of art we do, updates on how to help and other art news! ***
Thank you!
