Welcome to a New Year of Awesome Art!

Muddy Brook Artists are already busy in the art studio!  We started the year with the inspirational book Ish by Peter H. Reynolds.  It reminds artists that art doesn't have to be realistic and "ish art" can be beautiful and freeing to create.  Ish art can be a great place to start- or end!  Artists make plans and artists can change their plans!  We've started a project I'll share later, and we've opened the drawing studio.  We've talked about art studio expectations and behaving like artists.  AND we've created our own personal visual journals!  We've been busy- and Monday students haven't even had art yet (they will have a busy class to say the least)!  All students are excited to be back in the studio and most already have big plans for the year.  We will be aligning with classroom curriculum for some project based learning with a strong goal of wonder, artistic experimentation, and play.  I am looking forward to a truly amazing year!
Artfully yours, Ms. Benton
