Welcome!

    Welcome to Community Connections 2018! In this class, we will be exploring an array of artistic concepts and art materials. The overall theme of our lessons will be the idea that art can be made out of absolutely anything, which we will discover as we experiment with multimedia materials. During each class session, we will work together to think creatively and express ourselves. We will also follow content standards to guide us in our art making during every project. 

   After finishing our classes, our hope is that students will walk away feeling inspired by everyday objects and reimagining the artistic potential of the world around them. At the end of each class, we will post on this blog to share how the students engaged with the art projects, including highlights of the entire process and final artwork. We are so excited to work with the Community Connections students this semester!
