Request from Junior Art

In Junior Art this Semester we will be exploring our connections to 'Our Country, Our City, Our Community' through the art activities we do and the artists/artwork we look at. We invite community members to get in touch with our Junior Art Teacher, Eleanor Roberts, if you are or have family members that are practicing artists, designers or crafters, or if they have skills, resources or materials that could contribute to our program in any way. We will be using clay, recycled materials and possibly some textiles - time permitting, along with some 2D projects.
