K-5 Students at work

The art classroom was transformed into an art studio by the busy student-artists at work. We began each year by discussing how we were going to create a respectful, supportive and collaborative artist community. Student input was combined into a contract for Studio 26 (in room 26) and signed by all students.

No two days were the same when artists are designing, problem solving, expressing, inventing, engaging, and discovering.
