Miss Stevens' Art Classroom

Advisory room 100 will be collecting children's books (for children in grades K-6) until the end of April to benefit the Vicki Soto Memorial Office! Please make sure the books donated are appropriate for children in grades K-6. Although we appreciate your donations, we have been receiving several books that are adult themed and not appropriate for children. In addition, please make sure that you are not donating books that currently belong to other school libraries, or are in circulation at the public libraries (discarded books are fine!) We have recently received a few books belonging to local elementary schools and neighboring libraries that had to be returned! Thank you again for your support!

Just a friendly reminder that Q3 grades for report cards close THIS FRIDAY! 4/6. Any late or incomplete work needs to be handed in your portfolios by the end of the day to be graded for report card deadlines. In addition, any students who have completed the March Art Challenge/Extra Credit should hand in their work this week-DIRECTLY TO ME! Please make sure your first, last name, March and class name are on the back and that each challenge completed is numbered in order to receive credit. NO WORK HANDED IN AFTER FRIDAY CAN BE ACCEPTED!!

QUARTER 3 ENDS ON FRIDAY MARCH 23!! I will be staying after school for any students who need to makeup any incomplete artwork on THURSDAY, MARCH 22 .  NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER 3/23!!!

Grade 6 & 8 students are painting using PERMANENT paints. Although I do provide aprons, I do not recommend wearing your favorite clothing the next 2 weeks until the assignments are complete. :-) _____________________________________________________________________________ In case acrylic paint does get onto your clothes or personal items, I found some links that may be helpful to remove it: Persil Detergent Paint Removal Tips 5 Liquids That Can Remove Acrylic Paints _________________________________________________________________________________ If you find anything that works, or have any tips to removing paints from fabric, please email me and let me know so that I can add it to the blog!!

Due to the (unexpected) snow days last week, I will be collecting February's extra credit until this Wednesday March 14.

ART CHALLENGE EXTRA CREDIT: Do not forget! Extra Credit for FEBRUARY is due by this Friday, March 9. March's Art Challenge has been posted on our class Instagram page . Q3 ends prior to the March Art Challenge/Extra Credit, so February Art Challenge will be the only extra credit that is left to complete for Q3. If you are unhappy with your grade for Midyear/Progress reports, I highly recommend completing the February Art Challenge and handing it into me by THIS FRIDAY. If you are working on extra credit, please make sure you write the month, # that corresponds with the art challenge, have your name/class on the back and hand the work directly to me to ensure you get credit! :-) ________________________________________________________________________________ MAKEUP WORK DAYS: The end of quarter 3 is rapidly approaching, and completes on Friday 3/23. That leaves very little time for makeup work. Please check this page and our Instagram page for days I will be staying a...
