If the principal walks in, we'll ask Ms. Chavannes if she wants to paint the table!What a great gift I have been given to be able to introduce them to the experience of art! These children are fantastic!! We will be studying colors and color groups this year. We will also discuss lines, shapes, and patterns.

Be on the lookout for us dressing up like a famous artist or two!
