Showcase

At North Side School, every single class is greeted at my door.

I invite students into my classroom to learn, create and most of all to enjoy their experience with art.

Picasso believed, “every child is an artist”, this is very true!

A child will not hesitate to take initiative, to explore, but most of all they are not afraid to have fun creating!

In the art room, I foster an environment for each and every one of my students to come and enjoy their time creating new works of art.

By viewing this slide show I hope you will share in the pride I have for each of my amazing artists!

I tell every student at North side school,

“in art, we are unique and we have fun”, and I cannot wait to greet them at my door again soon!

Willets Road School

Willets Road School students are developing their love of music through listening, writing, performing, and improvising. We're pleased to highlight some of the amazing work they've been doing in this space.

The Willets Road Art Program encourages our students to express their creativity, experiment with new art forms and use art as a vehicle of communication to express their ideas and imagination. We are proud to see our students grow artistically and creatively throughout the year both in school and through online learning. We hope you enjoy seeing how beautifully our students have been able to continue to express themselves through the visual arts.
